How do I indicate this non-structural "cap" weld?
How do I indicate this non-structural "cap" weld?
(OP)
Please see attached image. This is a plate with a slot that fits over another plate. The weld shown as hatched is just there to keep the plate from falling off. It doesn't serve any structural purpose.
What AWS symbology should I use to call out this weld on a drawing?
Thanks,
Jeff

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

The only places I've seen a weld button as you posted was on the restoration of a steam locomotive and on some wrought iron restoration, emulating a rivet.

There were no dimensions provided, so it is a crap shoot as to what weld type is best suited for this inquiry. Looking at the scale of the weld vs. the base metal in the attachment I assumed it was sheet metal, but any assumption, well, you know where that discussion is headed.
As for welding symbols, be careful. There are a number of references in use by designers and engineers that list welding symbols that are 20 and 30 years out of date. The latest edition of AWS A2.4 is the 2007 edition. Buy it, look through it to see which weld type is best suited for your needs. Keep in mind that the standard dissects the welding symbol, so all the information is not listed in one concise manner. The reader is responsible to locate all the necessary information on the reference line, i.e., weld type, weld size, length, etc.
