All Around Weld Symbol
All Around Weld Symbol
(OP)
There is some confusion at my office as to the definition of the all around weld symbol. I have not been able to find a satisfactory answer online. Here is the question....
When two plates (one much smaller than the other )are welded together such that the large flat areas of the plates are in contact and the smaller plate overhangs the larger one, does the all around symbol imply that weld is wrapped around the smaller plate on the back side? See picture for illustration.
If one looks at the attached picture and please excuse the powerpoint drafting....does the all around weld symbol imply that the dashed line is welded?
thanks in advance

I prefer to restrict all-around to joints like tubes butting onto plates, where the meaning is clear.

The symbol is always the same, regardless of what side the arrow is on.
