The smbols described in this standard: provide the means of pacing om drawings the information concerning type, Hizey position, et, of the welds in welded jaime, With a view to avoid confusion rnd ‘misunderstanding, it is very essential that nly standard symbols are used by all designers Gnd fabricators, However, all information reqoi- rad for welding is not couveyed by the symbols More. ‘Te iss therefore, ‘often necesary, even when the standatd symbols have been wed, to Indicate on the drawings, reference to standard specifications for welding procedures and/or 1. SCOPE La This standard prescribes the rules to be applied for symbolic representation of welds on Geawings giving information concerning type. Size, position, welding process, ete, for welds in ‘welded joints. i Ld The tcheme does not include the use of thickened lines, hatehing and such other means: Tor indicating the welds themselves on the drawings, as itis considered that users will be in the best position to judge whether such additions fre desirable to meet their particular needs. 2, TERMINOLOGY 2.1 For the purpotes of this standard, the defini- tions given in IS; 812-1957 shall apply. 3. GENERAL 3.1 Welds may be indicated in accordance sith the genera recommendations for technical drawlbge, However, forthe purpose of stm alion ti aavisabic to adopt, for usual welds, She wimbelic representation’ described. in this sandard. ry of terms lating to weld od cutting welding procedure sheets giving details of the tools, materials, processes and other requirements for welding. 0.3 This standard was first published in 1956. Amended version of the standard was issued in 1961. It is now being revised to bring it in line with other international standards published on. the subject. O4 This standard keeps in view the practices being followed in the country in this field. ‘Assisiance has also been derived from the follow- ing standards issued by the International Organi zation for Standardization ( ISO 1S 2553-1984 Welds — Symbolic representar tion on drawings ISO 4063-1978 Welding, brazing, _ braze welding and soldering of metals —List of processes, for Tepretentation’ on. 3.2 The symbolic representation shall give ly all necessary indications regarding the je weld to be obtained, without. over- ing the drawing with notes or showing an view. 3.3 This symbolic representation includes an ‘elementary symbol which may be completed by: a) a supplementary symbol, b) a means of showing dimensions,or ¢) tome complementary indication ( particu- larly for workshop drawings ). 3.4 In order to simplify the drawings as much as possible, it is recommended that references be nade to specific instructions or particular specifi cations giving all details of the preparation of edges to be welded and/or the welding procedu- ret, rather than showing these indications on the drawings of the welded parts. IT there are uo such instructions, he dime sions relating to the preparation of the edges (0 be welded and/or the welding procedures can be close to the symbol.151 813 - 1986 TABLET ELEMENTARY SYMBOLS (Claas 4.1.2) = a Danouariox Tnzgernarion Srupoe Lr 1 { Butt weld betwee (Che rained edges beiag celts vam me 2 | Square butt weld AS 3 | Single-V but weld, 4 | Single-bevel butt weld, ESD 5 | Single-V butt weld with brond root face 6 | Singie-bevel bute weld with broad root face 7. | Single-U buss weld ( par | Stogles bute weld Pics CESS 9 | Backing run; back or bucking weld 10 | Files weld “Fut welds between plates with “edges ( symbol welds (symbol 2) with soe weld thick aot compleiely peovirated are symbolised ar aquare butt hanes shown ie Table 4 (Contmutd )181813 - 1986 TABLE 3 EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION OF SUPPLEMENT ARY SYMBOLS (Glaus 432) Damtonation Invosenarion Sranor Flat ( flth )single-V bute weld ZZ | V Conver doubleeV butt wald | | | | ZS | X con wa re ee SN y wore wariow “arom ctl 00 on al Wels onme aroiwsice fo) Weldon tne other sor Fro. 2.
