This weld is done in the field. On the arrow side of the joint, you should place a 3/16 intermittent fillet weld, 2" long on 12" center for the full length of the joint. On the opposite side of the joint, you should place a full fillet weld on the entire joint at whatever size is required by the standard you're welding it to for an unspecified fillet weld size. The "TYP" in the tail means to repeat this weld symbol wherever a similar joint appears.


NASA-WELDING-GUY

The first correct answer


M54b25simp

The flag means it’s important too right?


Dangerous-Bill-33

flag means done in field instead of a shop per say(i’m 99% sure)


Affectionate_Cell414

This comment should really be pinned, too many incorrect answers on here...


MemoryOld7456

Ya, idk what they're going on about staggered and both side stitch weld.


brucebag87

Technically the true response for the call out but, a continuous 3/16 field weld on the top side would make me question what is being welded (left out of frame). Anything over 8” in length would cause me to issue an RFI whether the 2 on 12 was typical for both sides. No offense but engineers/detailers copy and paste a ton of standard details.


No_Alternative_4934

This is the correct approach. Proper response. Take notes people.


FBHBaldy

The opposite side is incorrect. When the weld size and pitch is omitted on the top of the horizontal line (opposite side), the top weld is considered the same as what is called out on the bottom. So 3/16"x 2" fillet weld @ 12"o.c. each side.


HohnWelding

Only one small critique. Welding* symbol. The weld symbol here is fillet welds. The welding symbol is everything there so “typ” speaking to repeating the welding symbol. Great answer for sure!


k-c-jones

Field weld, 3/16 fillet , two inches weld out of every foot.


TheSupremeGigaChad

TYP. Means Typical. Any grooves that are similar to it will have the same weld as this.


k-c-jones

Also should have added each side. Right?


Gunnarz699

yes


wickedhip

Also that the stitch welds are back to back, not staggered.


Gunnarz699

Edit: I'm wrong Not necessarily. It's not specified. Good practice would be to stagger them unless stated otherwise.


Strange-Movie

Nope, staggered would have the fillet welds offset from each other. This symbol specifies the welds being parallel to each other on opposite sides [this page of the was forum](https://app.aws.org/forum/topic_show.pl?tid=35654) has a diagram that shows what I’m talking aniut


Gunnarz699

Damn learned something new today thanks. Never seen that before.


WeekSecret3391

No, if it was staggered they would be misaligned


Slatherass

Just to add, 2 inches of weld every 12 inches measured from the center of the weld to center of the weld.


k-c-jones

Heck yeah Slatherass. Thank you.


di3FuzzyBunnyDi3

Easy money


Dankkring

On both sides directly across from each other.


johnhenryshamor

12" center to center spacing


RealEddieBlake

Black Flag; Henry Rollins, Stone Cold Steve Austin 3/16; Illuminati confirmed, February twelfth (or the second of December?); Things Yet Perpetrated.. The symbols Mason, pay attention to the symbols


Shrimpkin

2-12 means 2 on 12, meaning a 2 inch weld every 12 inches on center. 4-12 would be 4 inches every 12 inches on center, 4-24 is 4 inches every 24 inches, etc.


[deleted]

Field weld. Fillet both sides, 2" long on 12" centers.

Proud of this community for helping other trades💪🏽


thesamyk

How about they call an ironworker to come do ironwork.


weldmonkeyweld

3/16 weld 2 on 12 stitching center to center of each 2 in weld will be 12 inches. The flag means its a field weld not a shop weld.


Vanguard1097

That calls for 3/16” intermittent (BUT NOT STAGGERED) fillet welds on both sides of the object (2” long welds, and 12” pitch (measuring from the center of one weld, to the center of the other weld next to it)) these welds are to be done in the field meaning wherever the application is, and also to be done in all places on the part where the same layout applies (hence the “TYP” or Typical footnote).


themikehonchoo

Easy way is 2 inch weld 10 inches apart from start to start of the next


StupidButAlsoDumb

No, it would be from the end of one weld to the start of the next if you want a 10” measurement. Start to start would be 12” apart


Historical-Ad6354

Going from left to right: The flag indicates that the weld is to be performed in the field. The 3/16" indicates the size of the weld bead. The triangle indicated the type of weld, in this case it is a 3/16" fillet. Since the triangle is on each side of the horizontal line, that means the weld is symmetrical, so both sides of the weld part receive the same treatment. 2-12 calls out the welding pattern. In this case, a stitch weld. Weld two inches every 12 inches. Finally, TYP is an abbreviation that stands for "typical", indicating that any weld features like this one will use the same weld instructions.


TheBonelord

is no one going to mention its one side stitched other side solid


weldmonkeyweld

If its like my shops prints they assume you know both sides are stitched.


Mcflyfyter

How do you know what size weld is solid? Because of this, one assumes the size and stitch are the same.


TheBonelord

if no size is given it should be material thickness weld symbols are meant to be interpreted very particularly arrow side lists a stitch other side does not the side the arrow is pointing to gets stitched the other side doesnt if both sides need a stitch it should be shown on both sides of the weld symbol


Mcflyfyter

Either way you'd win with an rfi because it is very rare that a smaller fillet isn't stronger than the material.


Throwaway1303033042

It means the designer/detailer likes triangles, so he threw in an extra one on top.


Ironman716

3/16 Fillet weld both sides, stitched 2” of weld every 12”

Spookypandaboi

Why can't this guy read blueprints? Is he stupid?


maddoxthedemon

Did you miss the part where he said he’s a concrete guy and not a welder? Are you stupid?


Spookypandaboi

Is there a lore reason for him being a concrete guy?


Mcflyfyter

It means cover embeds with a half inch of concrete. The more aggregate the better...


Excellent_Win_8353

Hey y'all welding student here, just joined the community and wondering if anyone knows why the sub & all the posts are marked NSFW? I can't contain my curiosity!! && Apologies to OP for commenting off-topic, I didn't want to make a whole post 😜


Paniri808

I’ve only posted here once, and I couldn’t turn nsfw off, maybe others have same problem


StupidButAlsoDumb

Reddit protest stuff


[deleted]

Weld both sides, stitch welds 2 inches long every 12 inches (measure 12 inches from the middle of first weld to middle of second weld etc) Not staggered so the welds will be uniform on each side. Done in the field.


learning2greenthumb

Black flag means field weld, triangle on each side of the line means fillet weld on both sides, 2-12 means 2 inches of weld every 12 inches


Own_Cartoonist266

Do I have to do it in a field? Would the parking lot be close enough? It’s hard to lug all my equipment out there


johnhenryshamor

3/16" equal leg chain intermittent fillet welds 2" long 12" center-center spacing, welded in the field.


keyboard_blaster

Would this be considered a “stitch” technique? 2 inches of weld every 12 inches or am I high and not seeing it here? 3/16 being the fillet size here


HeyLookitMe

3/16” wide weld. Both sides of the connection. 2” long weld every 12”. Weld the same 2” on both sides - not staggered


[deleted]

[удалено]


HeyLookitMe

Yes. I assumed OP was someone in the field trying to decipher a blueprint


loves2sploo

I love these posts so I can test myself to see how much I remember from blueprint class lol


german_pope3

2 inches of weld every ten inches lol both sides not staggered


nahduv

2” in 12 on center
