Joints may be indicated with the general rec- ‘ommendations for technical drawings. However, for the purpose of simplification, it is advisable to adopt, for usual joints, the symbolic representation de- scribed in this International Standard, 3.2 The symbolic representation shall give clearly all necessary indications regarding the specific joint to be oblained without over-burdening the drawing ‘with notes or showing an additional view. 3.3. This symbolic representation includes an el- ementary symbol which may.be completed by ~— a supplementary symbol; a means of showing dimensions; -~ some complementary indications (particularly tor workshop drawings) 3.4 In order to simplify the drawings as much as possible it is recommencled that references be made fo specific instructions or particular specifications giving ali delaits of the preparation of edges to beISO 2553;1992(E) welded, brazed and soldered and/or welding, braz- ing and soldering procedures, rather than showing these indications on the drawings of the welded parts, If there are no such instructions, the dimensions re- lating to the preparation of the edges to be welded, brazed and soldered and/or welding, brazing and soldering procedures can be close to the symbol, 4 Symbols 4.1 Elementary symbols The various categories of joints are characterized by a symbol which, in general, is similar to the shape of the weld to be made. The symbol shall not be taken to prejudge the pro- cess to be employed The elementary symbols are shown in table 1 If the joint should not be specified but only be rep- resented that the joint will be welded, brazed or soldered, the following symbol shall be used: Table 1 — Elementary symbols No. Designation down completely) Butt weld between plates with raised edges"? ; edge 1 | flanged weld /USA/ (the raised edges being melted 7 | Single-U butt weld (parallel or sloping sides) ;ISO 2853-19928) No. Designation ‘Symbol 8 | Single butt weld 9 | Backing run; back or backing weld /USA/ wo 10 | Fillet weid 42. | Spot weld O soy 13, | Seam weld CG “ 45 Steep-flanked single-bevel but! weldISO 2553:1992(E) Hlustration ‘Symbol 16 | Edge weld 17 | surfacing 18 | Surface joint 19 | Inclined joint 20 | Fold joint “ OQ 1) Butt welds between plates with raised edges (symbol 1) not complelaly penetrated are symbolized as square butt ‘welds (symbol 2) with the weld thickness shown (sea table 5)4.2. Combinations of elementary symbols When required, combinations of elementaty symbols can be used. The elementary symbols are to be combined for Welding from both sides in such a manner arranging the applicable elementary symbols symmetrical to the reference tine. Typical examples are given in 1SO 2553:1992() table 2 and applications for symbolic representation in table A.2. NOTE 1 Table? gives a collection of combinations of elementary symbols for symmetrical welds. For the sym- bolic representation the elementary symbols are arranged ‘symmetrically at the reference line (see table A.2). For the use of symbols out of symbolic representation the sym: bols may be represented without the reference line. Table 2 — Combined symbols for symmetrical welds (examples) Designation Miustration Symbol Double-V butt weld (X weld) Double-bevel butt weld Double-bevel butt weld with broad root face Double-U butt weldISO 2553;1992(E) 4.3, Supplementary symbols Elementary symbols may be completed by a symbol characterizing the shape of the external surface or the shape of the weld. The recommended supplementary symbols arc given in table3. The absence of a supplementary symbol means thal the shape of the weld surface does not need to he indicated precisely. Examples of combinations of elementary and sup- plementary symbols are given in tables 4 and A.3. NOTE 2 Although it is not forbidden to associate sev- eral symbols, it is better to represent the weld on a sep- arate sketch when symbolization becomes too difficult ‘Table 3 — Supplementary symbots ‘Shape of weld curface or weld 3h Flat (asualiy fnvshoa Hush ‘Symbol b} Convex ©) Concave 1d) Toes shall be blended smoothly @) Permanent backing strip used f) Removable backing strip usedTable 4 gives examples of application of the sup- plementary symbols Table 4 — Examples of application of supplementary symbols Designation (SO 2553:1992(E) Miastration Flat (flush) single-V butt weld Convex double-V weld Concave fillet weld Flat (flush) single-V butt weld with Mat (flush) backing run Flush finished single-V butt weld Single-V butt weld with broad root face and backing run Fillet weld with smooth blended face *) Symbol in accordance with ISO 1302; instead of this symbol the main symbol V” can be used1SO 2553:1992(E) 5 Position of the symbols on drawings 5.1. General ‘The symbols covered by these rules form only part of the complete method of representation (figure 1), which comprises in addition to the symbol (3) itself: — an arrow line (1) per joint (see figure? and figure 3}; ~ a dual reference line, consisting of two parallel lines, one continuous and one dashed (2) (ox- ception, see note 3); — a certain number of dimensions and conven- tional signs. NOTES 3. The dashed line can be dr: the continuous fine = 55 and annex B), eithor above or beneath (see also For symmetrical wolds, the dashed line is unnecessary and should be omitted, 4 The thickness of lines for arrow line, reference tine, symbol and lettering shall be in accordance with the thickness of line for dimensioning in accordance with ISO 128 and (SO 3098-1, respectively. The purpose of the following rules is to define the location of welds by specifying — the position of the arrow line; - the position of the reference line: — the position of the symbol The arrow line and the reference line form the com- plete reference mark. If details are given, e.g. for processes, acceptance levels, position, filler and auxiliary materials (see clause 7). a tail shall be added at the end of the reference line. 5.2 Relationship between the arrow line and the joint The examples given in figure 2 and figure 3 explain the meaning of the terms “Arrow side” of the joint, — “Other side” of the joint NOTE 5 The position of the arrow in these figures is chosen for purposes of clarity. Normally, it would be placed immediately adjacent to the joint.
