Slot-Plug Welding Symbol
Welding Symbols. One of the most important welding symbols is the fillet weld. This weld is an extremely common practice in fabrication and field work. This symbol is characterized by a right triangle which is the lateral shape of a real fillet weld. Fillet welds are generally performed on a 90 degree joint of 2 perpendicular pieces of metal. 'Weld symbol' is the basic V, U or triangle, representing, respectively, single-V, single-U or fillet welds. 'Welding symbol' means a reference line to which the weld symbols can be added and an arrow line pointing to the position of the welded joint. Plug or Slot Weld Symbol.
