Weld Symbol Clarification
Weld Symbol Clarification
(OP)
I am in need of a little clarification on a pretty basic weld symbol.
Does the weld symbol shown in the attached document require the welder to use filler material in the fillet weld?
Thanks in advance!

I guess when it can be interpreted in more than one way it must be clearly defined on the drawing. In this case, if a leg length had been stated there would be no question.
Thanks again.

Your symbol is incomplete, and therefore ambiguous.

Do you expect the welder to do the same every time? Bad design, bad detailing, bad drawing = failure (sooner or later)
RE: Weld Symbol Clarification
Keep in mind that the fabricator is required to submit the detail shop drawings to the Engineer for final review and approval if AWS D1.1 is the welding coded cited by the project specifications. The Engineer must review the welded connections to verify they are sized properly.

AWS D1.1 2010
"The welding symbol without dimension and without CJP
in the tail designates a weld that will develop the adjacent
base metal strength in tension and shear."
Hope that helps,
