In the case of a circular joint, the weld all around symbol is not required. The weld all around symbol consists of a circle that is placed over the intersection where the end of the reference line meets the arrow. Examples of weld all around welds and welding symbols are shown in Figures 10-3 and 10-4.  \nFigure 10-1 AWS Standard Locations of the Elements of a Welding Symbol (AWSA2.4:2012,  \nFigure 3 reproduced and adapted with permission from the American Welding Society (AWS), Miami, FL.)  \nFigure 10-2 AWS Supplementary Symbols (AWSA2.4:2012, Figure 2 reproduced and adapted with permission from the American Welding Society (AWS), Miami, FL.)  \n150 Chapter 10  \nWeld All Around Symbols  \nFigure 10-3 Weld All Around Symbols  \n|  |\n| --- |\n| |\n\nPLATE WELDED ON TOP OF ANOTHER PLATE  \nCHANNEL WELDED TO A PLATE  \nBEAM WELDED TO A PLATE  \nFigure 10-4 Example of Weld All Around Welds  \nFieLd weLd  \nA field weld is defined by the American Welding Society (AWS) as “[a] weld made at a location other than a shop or the place of initial construction.”1 The field weld symbol consists of a flag that is placed at the intersection where the end of the reference line meets the arrow (see Figure 10-5) .  \nField Weld Symbols  \nFigure 10-5 Field Weld Symbol Examples  \n1 AWSA3 .0M/A3 .0:2010, reproduced with permission from the American Welding Society (AWS), Miami, FL  \nadvanced Welding Symbols 151  \nweLd LengTh  \nEach weld, with the exception of spot and plug welds, has a length component. The weld length may be the entire length of the joint or some portion thereof. There are several different methods for providing the weld length information on a drawing. When the weld is to be the entire length of the joint, the length component is not required on the welding symbol. The welding symbol points to the joint requiring the weld, and the weld is made the entire length of that particular joint, as shown in Figure 10-6. If a weld is required to make a change in direction, an additional welding symbol or a multi-arrow symbol should be used.  \nWhen the weld length is not required to extend the complete length of the joint, it can be defined by placing the required length to the right of the weld symbol. The welding symbol then points to the area of the joint requiring the weld. It may replace the standard length dimension, as shown in Figure 10-7.  \nFigure 10-6 Examples of Continuous Welds 152 Chapter 10  \nFigure 10-7 Weld Length Specified on Welding Symbol Between Extension Lines  \nFigure 10-8 Weld Length Specified on Welding Symbol Between Extension Lines with Section Lines Representing the Weld Area  \nPlacing section lines in the area where the weld is to be placed can also be used in combination with standard dimensions and welding symbols to identify the required weld length and weld location. See Figure 10-8.  \ninTermiTTenT weLds  \nAn intermittent weld, also called a skip weld, consists of a series of welds placed on a joint, with unwelded spaces between each of the welds. The individual weld segments in an intermittent weld have a length and pitch component. The weld length is the linear distance of each weld segment.
