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 />
