Weld Type Symbols
Weld type symbols are used to identify the type of weld required on a joint. The most common weld type symbols are:
1. Fillet Weld Symbol
- Represented by a triangle
- Indicates a weld that is approximately triangular in shape
- Can be used for lap joints, tee joints, and corner joints
2. Groove Weld Symbol
- Represented by a square or rectangular shape
- Indicates a weld that is used to fill a groove or gap between two parts
- Can be used for butt joints, edge joints, and corner joints
3. Spot Weld Symbol
- Represented by a circle
- Indicates a weld that is used to join two overlapping parts
- Typically used for sheet metal and thin plate applications
4. Seam Weld Symbol
- Represented by a long, narrow ellipse
- Indicates a weld that is used to join two parts along a continuous seam
- Typically used for sheet metal and thin plate applications
5. Flux Cored Arc Weld Symbol
- Represented by an "F" inside a circle
- Indicates a weld that is made using a flux cored arc welding process
6. Gas Metal Arc Weld Symbol
- Represented by a "G" inside a circle
- Indicates a weld that is made using a gas metal arc welding process
7. Gas Tungsten Arc Weld Symbol
- Represented by a "GT" inside a circle
- Indicates a weld that is made using a gas tungsten arc welding process
8. Shielded Metal Arc Weld Symbol
- Represented by an "S" inside a circle
- Indicates a weld that is made using a shielded metal arc welding process
9. Submerged Arc Weld Symbol
- Represented by an "SA" inside a circle
- Indicates a weld that is made using a submerged arc welding process
