• Graphical symbols for welding to convey the complete welding information from
the designer to the welder in terms of drawings.
• It denotes a symbol made up of several elements to convey the welding instruction
WHAT IS A WELDING SYMBOL?
A metal-joining process that uses the heat generated by a combination of oxygen
and a fuel gas to melt two similar metals together and are integrally joined
when cooled.
WHAT IS WELDING?
WELD SYMBOLS: It is an ideograph ,used to indicate the type of weld required

Tail Specification:
It will appear on the end of the reference line opposite to the arrow end.
It is used to locate specification, process of other reference
If no tail-When no spec.
Specification and process:
Placed in the tail of the welding symbol
If the spec is given in notes, or indicated elsewhere on the drawing,
it should not be used.
