Is there a cleaner way to call out weld direction change?

admin

Good morning folks, I am new to the forums and have a question that hopefully somebody can give me some advice on. When you are calling out a joint to be welded that has multiple changes of direction, is there a cleaner way of doing this rather than having multiple arrows pointing to all the direction changes? I would like to place a note in the tail and say weld from A to B, or something like that, but I'm not sure if that is acceptable practice within the AWS standards. The ISO standard has a function within the weld that works the way I want it to, but not the AWS. Any advice, or is there something I'm missing in the standard that allows me to do this?



Reply:It something a draftsman/engineer and may not be right. Any I saw a odd weld symbol I contacted the draftsman/engineer on drawing to clear it up Dave
