weld symbol clarification

weld symbol clarification

weld symbol clarification

(OP)
Hey guys I need some clarification on a weld symbol. If I have a single v-groove symbol with no contour line or size of reinforcement and doesn't give anymore information does that automatically tell me to just fill in the groove flush or should I fill and add the 1/8" max reinforcement per AWS D1.1? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

RE: weld symbol clarification

The symbol can be interpreted as a CJP groove weld filled flush with the adjacent surfaces. The maximum reinforcement allowed is a function of the base metal thickness per D1.1:2010.

Best regards - Al

RE: weld symbol clarification

Assume flash and flash as much as you can but if you pass it contour no more than an 8th. Per Code... Or ask your supervisor or Qcm, its his/her job unless you are a solo contractor...

RE: weld symbol clarification

It's flush to 1/8 inch reinforcemnt
