Basic weld symbol - - -- to arrow side member of joint
or detail reference or arrow side of joint
Note:
Size, weld symbol, length of weld and spacing must read in that order from left to right along the refer-
ence line. Neither orientation of reference line nor location of the arrow alters this rule.
The perpendicular leg of~ , V. V, 11weld symbols must be at left.
Arrow and Other Side welds are of the same size unless otherwise shown. Dimensions of fillet welds
must be shown on both the Arrow Side and the Other Side Symbol. . . .
. Flag of field-weld symbol shall be placed above and at right angle to reference Ima of Junction
with the arrow.
Symbols apply between abrupt changes In direction of welding unless governed by the "all around"

Ymbo1 or otherwise dimensioned.
d _These symbols do not explicitly provide for the case that frequently occurs in structural work, where
Uphcate material (such as stiffeners) occurs on the far side of a web or gusset plate. The fabricating in-
dustry has adopted this convention: that when the billing of the detail material discloses the existence of
a member on the far side as well as on the near side, the welding shown for the near side shall be dupli-
cated on the far side.
