How do I specify the spacing around an arc?

How do I specify the spacing around an arc?

How do I specify the spacing around an arc?

(OP)
If I have a pattern of welds around a circular edge (say fillet welds) how do I define the spacing?  For example I have 4 25mm welds around a 74mm diameter.  Do I measure the circular arc length as the pitch and put 25-58.1 on the weld symbol?  Or is there is different way to define this?

Thanks,
Jeff

RE: How do I specify the spacing around an arc?

The same way you would specify a stitch weld.

RE: How do I specify the spacing around an arc?

(OP)
For a stitch weld along a line, I use the linear pitch.  So are you saying around a circle the radial pitch is correct?

RE: How do I specify the spacing around an arc?

yes.

RE: How do I specify the spacing around an arc?

I guess if it's not equally divisable, then you keep going around in circles until you have a complete fillet weld <G> (I couldn't restrain myself, sorry).

I think you are measuring circumferential pitch, not radial.  Also, you may use the tail of the weld symbol to clarify your intent in the finished work.

RE: How do I specify the spacing around an arc?

(OP)
Yes, circumferential.  I got my terms mixed up.

Thanks,
Jeff
