weld symbols
(OP)
For some reason I have in my head that I learned the following: when calling out a fillet weld you don't need to put the triangle and fillet size on the top and bottom because if it is on the bottom only and there are two sides then it is 'understood' that you mean both sides.
i cannot find supporting evidence of this in anything i read so although I have been told this, I am not sure the information is correct.
Does this sound familiar to anyone else and is it true?
thank you -

Traditionally, you haven't needed to duplicate the size callout on the "other" side, but AISC is now saying that if you don't call out a weld size, you are asking for the minimum weld size permitted.

I learned from my boss at the time who was probably telling me the wrong thing because he had learned the old way. When I found out the correct way, I was shocked to find out that the change was made many years earlier.

I also see people calling for CJP groove welds by only showing the groove symbol and nothing else. Need to have "CJP" on the tail to be clear there too.
