Welding Symbols - Mystery Symbol Discussion
(OP)
Good afternoon,
I was told that some here may be interested in a discussion I was recently a part of. It is regarding a seemingly invented welding symbol I have come into contact with at our engineering firm, in the shop drawings of a couple of different steel fabricators. The link can be found below:

So you would have a pure 3-sided "U" shaped weld once done.
This assumes that the angle is shorter than the width of the tube. If the angle extends out wider than the width of the tube, you would not want to have a continuous weld across the discontinuous corner (i.e. an overhead weld on the bottom of the tube crossing upward at the corner and becoming a downward weld on top of the angle leg).

The problem with KK welding symbols is they do not meet AWS A2.4 nor any other recognized standard. They can easily confuse the person trying to interpret the intent, they can hold up production, and generally are a poor way of conveying the welding requirements.

Not once in 37 yrs (23 as a CWI), have I ever seen that particular symbol...I'm sure it means something to the guy that drafted it..but nothing the the rest of the planet would know.
