    - Different welding symbols are used to specify welding on a drawing.

    - The above shown welding symbol is of single fillet weld.

    - Fillet welds are also known as lap welds. These welds are obtained by overlapping two planes and by welding the intersected edge.

    - The different types of fillet welds are:

    1) Parallel fillet weld: In these welds, load axis is parallel to the axis of fillet.

    2) Transverse fillet weld: In these welds, load axis is perpendicular to the axis of fillet. Single and double transverse welds are types of transverse fillet welds.
