Example of the indication of process caso, It was felt thet this situation should not be caried ‘over into this standard and therefore the practice of placing the symbol below the reference line for welds on the ‘arrow side’ remains unaltered inthis revision, for both third and first angle projection. Because of the existence of two systems of positioning the symbol, however, ts strongly recommended that all drawings should clerly state which system has been employed. In order to simplity drawings, itis recommended that requirements relating tothe preparation and making of ‘wold shoula be ineluec on the welding prococure shoots. For typical information to appear on welding procedure sheots for various process, reference should be made to ‘he appondices in 88 499 : Part 1, while an oxamplo of tho layout of a typical welding procedure test record is given in the appendix of BS 4870 s Part 1.

Scope ‘This Port of BS 409 specifies requirements for tho symbolic representation of wolds on drawings. For the most common ‘types of weld the scheme provides basic indications regard ing the welds to be made without over-burdening the drawing with notes or showing an additional view. The schome ienot intended to apply to complas joints, involving ‘multiple welds for example, for which it may be simpler to show on the drawing a separate detailed view of the joint ‘and wolds required, 2. References “The titles ofthe standards publications referred to inthis standard are listed on the inside back cover. 3. Symbols 3.1 Elomentary symbols. The varlous types of weld are ‘ech characterized by a symbol which, in general, is repres- ‘entative of the shape of the weld to be made or the edge preparation to be used. The symbol is not to be taken to pre-judga the welding process to be employed. The type of weld shall be indicated by the appro ‘elementary symbol given in table 1. Examples are given in ‘able 5. The vertical portions of the symbols for sincle-bevel butt, singlow butt and illot welds shall always be on the leftchand side ofthe symbol irrespective of the orientation Of the weld metal, The syinbols shall apply to the respective ‘Wolds regardless of tho number of runs to be deposited, ‘whether oF not there isa root gap and witether or not there Ts backing material, ax such detalle shall be glvon on the Welding procedure sheet. 3.2 Combinations of elementary symbols. For welds made from two sides, combinations of elementary symbols shall ‘boused, Examples are siven in table 6. In the case of compound welds, e.g. a fillet weld super le British Standards lestitution ‘Tue Now 0821-0222 1986 Imposed on a single-bovel butt weld, the appropriate ‘combination of symbols shall be used, but the schame of symbols is not intended to epply to complex joints. Examples are given in table 7. 23 Supplementary symbols. When the extemal surface of ‘the weld is required to be ofa particular shape, the appro: priate eupplemontary eymbol given in table 2 ehall be eed In conjunction with the relevant elementary symbol. Examples are given in tablos 9 and 8, 4, Position of symbols 4.1 General. The symbols shall be used in conjunction with {an arrow line and a referencs line. Theit method of repres: entation is shown in figure 1 1 2 3 Joint: 2s the reference line 3's the symbol Figure 1. Method of representation 4.2. Arrow line relative to the joint. To indicete the position ‘of a weld in a particular joint relative to the parts being JoInad, the ‘head! of an arrow shall be used to denote the ‘reference side’ ofthe joint. The side nearer the arrow head shall be known asthe ‘arrow side" and the remote side as the ‘other side’, Examples are given In figures 2 and 3.

Dimensions 5.1 General. Where a symbol is accompanied by a certain number of dimensions, exprossed in millimetres, the indice tion of these dimensions, illustrated in figure 6 shall be as follows: {2} dimensions relating to the cross section of the weld shall be given on the left-hand side of the symbol; {(b) longitudinal dimonsions shall be given on the right hand side ofthe symbol; distances between adjacent wold elements shall be indicated in parenthesis Figure 5, Example of the indiation of dimensions The main dimensions to be indicated, and how they ere used, shall be as giv In table 8, Any other significant rensions shall be included on the welding procedure sheets, The dimensions that locate the weld in relation to ‘to edges ofthe parts boing welded shall be given on the drawing. 5.2 Butt wolds, In the absence of any dimensional indice tione to the contrary, it shall be talon thet butt welds ore tended to have full penetration and to be continuous along the entire length of the joint. 5.3 Fillet welds. In the absence of any dimensional indica: tions to the contrary, it shall be taken that fillet welds are 1tnded to be continuous along the entte longi of the joint. “The crose-nctional dimension to be indicated fora filet Wold shal be the lag length. When itis also desired to Indicate the design throat thickness, then the leg length dimension shall be prefixed with the letter” and the design throat thioknoss dimension shall be profixed with the lettor ‘a, Inthe case ofa filet weld having unequal legs, the orientar tion of the weld shall be indicated on the drawing, unless the formation ofthe joint makes this obvious, and both log length dimensions shall be given, separated by a multplica- tion sion.
