"Continuous Weld"
"Continuous Weld"
(OP)
I am trying to better understand the definition of "Continuous Weld". The main question would be if a start/stop location is allowed inside the length of a continuous weld.
The AWS definition (From A3.0) is "A weld that extends continuously from omne end of a joint to the other." Doesn't seem to help much with that.
Any code/AWS references that explain this would be appreciated.

RE: "Continuous Weld"
"...Where the joint is essentially circular, it extends completely around the joint."
I think this explains it well since it would not be possible to make a circular weld without at least one start/stop. The opposite of "continuous weld" is "intermittent weld" where the continuity is broken by recurring unwelded spaces.

An intermittent weld is when the welder has regular breaks for a smoke or a chat with the guy working beside him.

What is different between Continous weld and full weld?
