    The document describes standards for representing welded joints symbolically on technical drawings according to BS EN 22553. It outlines elementary welding symbols like butt welds, fillet welds, and plug welds. It also covers combining symbols, adding supplementary information on weld shape or backing materials. Guidelines are provided on relating the welding symbol to the joint using reference lines and indicating the location and dimensions of welds. Processes for denoting peripheral, field, and specific welding information are also described.

    The document discusses how welded joints are represented symbolically on technical drawings according to BS EN 22553.

    The document describes different types of elementary welded joints and how they can be combined, such as single-V butt welds, single-bevel butt welds, and double-V butt welds.

    The document explains how welded joints are represented using reference lines, welding symbols, arrow lines, and their positioning relative to the joint.

    Elementary Symbols The symbols shown below are some of the symbols given in the Standard Designation square butt weld single-V butt weld single-bevel butt weld single-V butt weld with broad root face single-bevel butt weld with broad root face single-U butt weld single-J butt weld backing run (USA - back or backing weld) fillet weld plug weld (USA - slot or plug weld) spot weld (resistance welding) edge weld Illustration Symbol

Combinations of Elementary Symbols Elementary symbols are combined for welding from both sides as shown below Designation double-V butt weld (X weld) double-bevel butt weld double-V butt weld with broad root face double-bevel butt weld with broad root face double-U butt weld Illustration Symbol

    3. Supplementary Symbols Elementary symbols may be supplemented by a symbol characterising the shape of the external surface, or shape of the weld. Note The absence of a supplementary symbol means that the shape of the weld surface does not need to be indicated precisely. Shape of weld surface or weld flat (usually finished flush) convex concave toes shall be blended smooth permanent backing strip used removable backing strip used M MR Symbol

    4. Method of Representation To specify a weld detail it is necessary to show a weld symbol together with: an arrow line completed by an arrow head two reference lines consisting of:one continuous line one dashed line * (* see exception below)

    The arrow line joins one end of the continuous reference line to form an angle with it. 1 = arrow line 2a = reference line (continuous line) 2b = identification line (dashed line) 3 = welding symbol

    WELDED JOINTS - SYMBOLIC REPRESENTATION ON DRAWINGS (to BS EN 22553) 7. Position of the arrow line The position of the arrow line with respect to the weld is no special significance except for single bevel or single-J welds. For these, arrow line has to point to the plate that is prepared.

    This same detail can be indicated by moving the position of the dashed line (other side) as shown below: -

    8. Position of the symbol with respect to the reference line The symbol is placed either above or beneath the reference line as follows: The symbol is placed on the continuous line side of the reference line if the weld (weld face) is on the arrow side of the joint The symbol is placed on the dashed line side if the weld (weld face) is on the other side of the joint

    This is illustrated below: -

    To be welded on the arrow side

    To be welded on the other side

    Note For symmetrical welds, the dashed line is unnecessary - & should be omitted as shown. Supplementary Notes for Welding Inspection 5 Rev. 3 7/04

Specifying the Dimensions of Welds Weld cross-section dimensions These are written on the left-hand side of the symbol (before the symbol) and certain letters are used to indicate particular dimensions, namely: s = depth of penetration
    s

    Butt welds are to have complete penetration unless the symbol shows a penetration depth a = throat thickness (of a fillet weld) a

    Z = leg length (of a fillet weld) Z

    can also be used to show the depth of penetration required for a deep penetration fillet weld: s

    a Weld length dimensions These are written on the right-hand side of the symbol (after the symbol) A 300mm long fillet weld with an 8mm leg would be shown as follows: Z8 300

    8mm leg fillet weld all round

    Field or site welds A flag is used to indicate a field or site weld as shown below

    Indication of the welding process If required, the welding process is shown by a number written between the two branches of an open fork, at the end of the reference line as shown below ISO 4063 gives the numbers allocated for each welding process, e.g., MMA SAW 135 MAG 141 TIG

    111

    Sequence of information in the tail of the reference line Further information can be added to the open tail of the reference line but it should be added in the following order (and each one separated by a line) welding process (to ISO 4063) acceptance level (to ISO 5817) working (welding) position (to ISO 6947) filler materials (to ISO 544, ISO 2560, ISO 3581)

    In addition, a closed tail can be used which indicates a specific instruction, e.g., a procedure sheet as shown WPS 777
