All-around welding symbol
All-around welding symbol
(OP)
I have reviewed the results of a search on this topic, but really did not see this situation addressed. Does the symbol imply that the top side of the top flange of "B" also gets welded to the right flange of "A"? In my opinion, it should not get because it is not a fillet weld.

It is not unusual to see a drawing with incorrect welding symbols. It causes welders to stop production to get clarification of the detailer's intent.
I typically back charge the detailer for the time lost due to incorrect welding symbols. The detailer/engineer has an obligation to use the correct welding symbol, after all they are suppose to be professionals. If the drawing is incorrect, production and safety of the customer and public is at risk. The welder/fabricator should always ask the designer what is actually required when the welding symbol is not clear or because it is simply wrong. If the welder forges ahead and welds it the way he thinks it should be welded, he is making a grievous error. Rarely do two wrongs make the situation better.
What is the saying about making an "assumption"?

By the way, this was not a detail error. It was called out on the design so we will inquire.
