Good Morning,
I'm sorry if this is an obvious question, but I have received drawings with a stitch weld symbol indicating "12" EACH END".
This is for a detail with a WT welded to the bottom of an existing W section for reinforcement.
I am expecting that this means a 12" continuous weld each end, but could anyone confirm that this is the case?
Thanks so much in advance.

That would be my interpretation, but I didn't draw it so take it with a grain of salt. You said you received them...are you working for a fabricator? If so, send an RFI to the EOR for clarification.
 
Definitely means 12" at each end before starting the stitch weld. Very common, I would never question a note like that.
 
I use that designation often... any end plate?

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
