Weld Symbols
Weld symbols are like a particular language used in welding to show how pieces of metal should be joined. They appear on blueprints and drawings, helping welders understand precisely what to do. Make your projects appealing and well-decorated by copying them from our digital page.
Meaningful Symbols
⊩ Square Butt Joint
This symbol means two pieces of metal are joined edge-to-edge without any angle. It’s used for thin materials where a strong joint isn’t necessary.
⊬ Fillet Weld
This familiar symbol indicates a weld that joins two surfaces at a right angle. It’s used in many projects, from minor repairs to large constructions.
⊭ Plug or Slot Weld
This symbol means filling a hole or slot in one piece of metal to join it to another piece. It’s often used in sheet metal work for added strength.
⊮ Square Groove Weld
Similar to a square butt joint but with a groove for deeper penetration. It’s used for thicker materials needing stronger joints.
⊯ V-Groove Weld
This symbol indicates a V-shaped groove where both pieces of metal are angled. It allows for complete penetration and is excellent for thick materials.
⊰ U-Groove Weld
This symbol shows a U-shaped groove. It’s similar to a V-groove but uses less weld material, making it efficient for heavy-duty projects.
⊱ J-Groove Weld
This symbol means one piece of metal is angled in a J shape, while the other is straight. It’s used for strong joints in thick materials.
⊲ Flare Bevel Groove Weld
This symbol is used for welding round or curved pieces of metal. It’s common in pipe welding and cylindrical structures.
Knowing these symbols helps welders understand and create solid and reliable joints in metal structures. Whether you’re new to welding or have years of experience, understanding these symbols is vital to quality work.
