composed of a number of separate
pieces fastened together as a unit
Joints are all shown as they would
appear before welding

Welding Symbols
The basic element of the symbol is the
bent arrow
The arrow points to the joint where the
weld is to be made
Attached to the reference line, or shank, is
the symbol for the desired weld

Welding Applications
Welding is often cheaper when only one
or a few identical parts are required
Welding is also suitable for large
structures that are difficult or
impossible to fabricate entirely in a
shop
