Length of butt/groove welds<br />

When there is no indicati<strong>on</strong> of the length of a butt/groove weld, it<br />

means that the whole length of the joint is to be welded. Sometimes<br />

the weld is shorter than the joint length and may c<strong>on</strong>sist of intermittent<br />

welds. In this case the specific lengths of welds and their<br />

locati<strong>on</strong> may be indicated by dimensi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> the right of the weld<br />

symbol and <strong>on</strong> the drawing. Hatching may also be used to depict<br />

graphically the welds shown in Fig. 9.7. This procedure and alternative<br />

methods are described in detail in AWS A2.4-98, but not in<br />

ISO 2553 which does not include intermittent butt welds. However,<br />

the ISO standard does include intermittent fillet welds, described in<br />

Secti<strong>on</strong> 11, and there is no reas<strong>on</strong> why the principle should not be<br />

applied to butt welds symbolised in accordance with the ISO<br />

standard.<br />
