RE: Puddle Weld Symbol
RE: Puddle Weld Symbol
Old AWS used to have a symbol for spot or projection weld (which may or may not be in the new AWS). Symbol is a small circle drawn on the arrow side (if it matters) or a small circle centered about the reference line if the side doesn't matter. You indicate the diameter of the weld and the center to center spacing.
Typically, I do not see this weld symbol anymore. Puddle welds are specified more often in a note or within a schedule.

"Plug or slot weld" symbol is a rectangle on the weld arrow.
"Spot or projection" is a circle, either tangent to the weld arrow or centered on the weld arrow when there is no "side" significance.
From "Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing and Nondestructive Examination".

I can't recall any other "structural application" of a puddle weld other than in metal deck attachment in conjunction with SSW, TSW or BP.
