Welding Symbols

A welding symbol describes the type of weld, its size, and other processing and finishing information. It consists of a reference line, arrow, and tail. The tail indicates the welding process and supplementary information. A circle at the end of the arrow means welding all around. A flag means a field weld. Weld symbols show fillet welds, groove welds like bevel and V-grooves, and weld sizes.
