welding <strong>and</strong> testing symbols used in the drawings <strong>and</strong> applicable documents. The following topics will be<br />
discussed :<br />
● <strong>Welding</strong> symbols elements<br />
● Weld symbol locations<br />
● Multiple reference lines<br />
● Combined weld symbols<br />
● Supplementary symbols<br />
● Weld symbol dimensioning<br />
● Fillet <strong>and</strong> groove weld symbols<br />
● Weld size <strong>and</strong> depth <strong>of</strong> bevel considerations<br />
● Flare groove welds<br />
Objectives<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> this module the Resident Engineer (RE) <strong>and</strong> Resident Technical Officer (RTO) would be able to<br />
interpret welding symbols in the drawings <strong>and</strong> communicate effectively with the various people involved in<br />
