Welding symbols are the universal language of the welding industry. They are used to communicate vital information regarding the details of a weld including:

• Joint details
• Weld size and length
• Weld sequence
• Contour finish
• Location
• Process
• Required inspection methods
• Penetration requirements
• Etc.

Yet this important language is not understood by the vast majority of those in the welding industry. The reality is this lack of understanding is costing manufacturing companies hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. How is this possible? The inability of our welders and supervisors to interpret welding symbols is a major contributor to the overwelding epidemic. The inability of our design engineers to specify and write welding symbols is even worse.
