Welded, brazed and soldered joints – Symbolic representation on drawings

Rules for the symbolic representation of welded, brazed and soldered joints on drawings.

This European Standard prescribes the rules to be applied for the symbolic representation of welded, brazed and soldered joints on drawings.

This standard covers the symbols, position of the symbols on drawings, dimensioning of welds, complementary indications and examples for application of spot and seam joints.

The symbolic representation gives all the necessary indications regarding the specific joint to be obtained without over-burdening the drawing with notes or showing an additional view.

The symbolic representation includes an elementary symbol which may be completed by:

— a supplementary symbol;

— a means of showing dimensions;

— some complementary indications (particularly for workshop drawings).

This European standard supersedes BS 499-2:1980, which is withdrawn.

This standard includes the following cross references:
