Full penetration weld symbols
"Whats a full penetration weld? And whats the welding symbol to use for a full penetration weldment?"Thanks. Answer This is a pretty common question and there is no way to answer it without some pictures. Hopefully this page will shed some light on the subject. A full or complete penetration weld can be a really thick.
Description:A full or complete penetration weld can be a really thick weld that has been beveled and then penetrated by being filled with multiple weld passes, or it could be a sheet metal joint that is. If the two legs of the weld are to be the same size, only one dimension is given; if the weld is to have unequal legs much less common than the equal-legged weld , both dimensions are given and there is an indication on the drawing as to which leg is longer. For example, when two steel plates are joined together into a T shape, welding may be done on either side of the stem of the T. Answer This is a pretty common question and there is no way to answer it without some pictures. The perpendicular leg of the triangle is always drawn on the left side of the symbol, regardless of the orientation of the weld itself.
