Antique Field Weld Symbol

Antique Field Weld Symbol

Antique Field Weld Symbol

(OP)
Was the field weld symbol in the past a circle that was filled in solid?
Resembling the all around weld circle in todays detailing.
I know the flag is the designator for field weld now and the circle is for an all around weld.

RE: Antique Field Weld Symbol

I take offence at the use of the word "antique". Just "old" is fine.

LOL...okay

RE: Antique Field Weld Symbol

We had to get away from that symbol because you couldn't recognize it from the cigarette burns on the drawings.

Ah.... the good old days.
I never had to use the symbol but new about it from the American Bridge Detailers we had. The EIT I have here did not believe me and I could not find it referenced anywhere. I started Engineering/Detailing in 1982 and I used to smoke at my 4 foot x 12 foot drafting table that was from Sargent Lundy in Chicago. Now I have a computer monitor.... times have changed!

RE: Antique Field Weld Symbol

Just came across this. Page 4-33 of the AISC detailing manual 3rd edition indicates that AWS adopted the flag symbol in 1976.
