Weld symbol 1

[DoubleStud]

If I put the fillet symbol on the top, will this describe welding the top of the leg as well? Or do I have to have another arrow pointing the top of the leg (and get rid the top triangle)? What is the proper way? I know if it was just a plate, it is pretty clear. Just wondering if you can do the other side symbol as well for an L.

EDIT: didnt meant to put the circle symbol.

Yes, that means both sides, or top and bottom of angle in your case. Access at the top is less than ideal, which could affect the weld quality. Could you turn the angle the other way?

 

[WestLevel]

Missing the scale but it is probably ok for access to weld.
Agree it is arrow side and other side.

The weld stick angle for the top weld is "iffy". You can only tilt the stick about 30 degrees from perpendicular and it looks like your top beam flange will be in the way - but as WestLevel said "missing the scale" so not sure.

You have the all-around symbol, so you don't need the "other side" fillet. Not sure how 2" in 8" stitch weld works unless that's an awfully big piece being welded on.

This is an intermittent 1/4", fillet weld, field weld, all around, 2" @ 8", each side of angle. As jeff notes, depending on the flange width you may need 2 or more inches of clearance at the top in order to get in to weld it. The circle means 'all around', which would include the ends of the L section.

Sorry guys, did not mean to put the circle/all around symbol. It was something I drew up real quick on my acad with a block.

This was from about a year or so back and was from a query to this site about change in Class section when welding non-symmetrical. The C section was to be welded to the W section with a CJP weld (error). Tricky to get in there with a 'stick'.

The EOR accepted using round BAR welded into the fillets of the flange/web. There were many feet of this condition... saved the client (metal fabricator) a 'bucket'.

The problem with some answers here is that folks don't fully read the question. All around was not intended. That was edited out before any replies.

 

[dik]

Intended or not, that's what was shown...
