I know there are experienced weldors here so I thought I would ask some opinions. Today I had an instance while welding up a part where I questioned the weld symbols.
The first weld symbol I came across was drawn like the middle symbol in my drawing. The diagram below that is how I was told to weld it, which is what I had layed out.
The second weld symbol I encountered on the same part, resembled the top symbol in my drawing. The diagram below that is how I was told to weld it after I questioned the layout. I had layed it out similar to the previous symbol, but was told that was wrong.
In my opinion both weld symbols should have looked like the bottom symbol in my drawing, however I don't understand why the weld symbols are different. I do realize one weld is two fillets and one weld is a fillet and a butt, however I can't think of a difference that would make.
So, what do you guys think?
