As a result the general content and rresentation nave been changed to aliga wth ISO 2583, “he elementary symbols depict the form of the weld to be sade regardless of the welding process to be employed, hich was not always the case with the symbols in the vrevious edition of this standard, These symbols may be lualified by the use of supplementary symbols, dimensional letails and complementary indications. fn the absence of a single method being agreed internation: ly, ISO 2553 provisionally recognizes that the position of ne symbol relative to the reference line should depend on method of drawing projection used in the particular &.

[t was felt that this situation should not be carried fver into this standard and therefore tne practice of placing the symbol below the reference line for welds on the ‘arrow fide’ remains unaltered in this revision, for both third and first angle projection. Because of the existence of two systems of positioning the symbol, however. itis strongly recommended that all drawings should clearly state which system has been employed, In order to simplify drawings, itis eecommended that requirements relating to the preparation and making of welds should be included on the welding procedure sheets For typical information to appear on welcing procedure sheets for various processes, reference should be made to the appendices in 8S 499 : Part 1, while an example of the layout of a typical welding procedure test record is given in the appendix of 8S 4870 : Part 1BS 499 : Part 2 : 1980 Co) [al Weld on the arom sce (0) Weld on tne other sice NOTE, The Boston of tne attow in iets sketches cnoten 07 purposes of clarity.

Any other significant dimensions shall be included on the welding procedure theets. The dimensions that locate the weld in relation to the edges of the parts being welded shall be given on the drawing 5.2. Butt welds. In the absence of any dimensional indica- tions to the contrary, it shall be taken that butt welds are intended to have full penetration and to be continuous ‘along the entire length of the joint. 15.3 Fillet welds. In the absence of any dimensional indica- tions to the contrary, it shall be taken that fillet welds are intended to be continuous along the entire length of the joint ‘The cross-sectional dimension to be indicated for a fillet weld shall be the leg tength. When itis also desired to indicate the design throat thickness, then the leg length dimension shal be prefixed with the letter ‘b’ and the design throat thickness dimension shall be prefixed with the lener ‘2, In the case of a fillet weld having unequal ies, the orienta- tion of the weld shall be indicated on the drawing, untess the formation of the joint makes this obvious, and both leg length dimensions shall be given, separated by 3 multiplica- 5 sign. NOTE. The following referee range of leg lengtn dimensions, in| Iitimetrs, shouia be uted for the dimensioning of fille welds ‘314, 5.6.8, 10,12, 16, 18,20, 22 and 25, 6. Complementary indications 6.1 Peripheral welds. Where 2 weld is to be made all round joint, this shall be indicated by a circle places where the arrow line joins the reference line, as shown in figure 6. 6.2 Site welds. Welds to be made on site shall be differen- tiated from shop welds by the indication of a flag where the arrow line joins the reference line, as shown in figure 7. 6.3 Non-destructive testing, When it is desired to indicate that non-destructive testing, other than visual examination, ‘of a weld is required, the symbol shown in figure 8 shall be placed near to the end of the reference lin BS 499 : Part 2: 1980, Figure 6, Use of symbol for peripheral wales J— NY Figure 8, Symbol tor non-destructive texting 6.4 Welding process, information regarding the welding process to be used is given on the welding procedure sheet ‘When itis also desired to indicate the process as part of the symbolic representation, the aporanriate number i= table 10° shall be placed within a fork’ at the end of the reference line as shown in figure 2 —«ai Figure 9, Sxample ofthe indication of process 7.
