Christmas Symbols

When you first start welding it may be difficult to understand what you are seeing when you look at the weld symbols. However, if you think of this as a system of codes or a way of shorthand that tells you different information about the weld that needs to be done, these weld symbols will be easier to read.
The information you can gain from these symbols is important; they tell you the type of weld to do, the size of the weld you should do and other information about how you will process it or finish the job. These are all weld symbols that are set up by the American Welding Society and the American National Standards Institute.
