Intermittent stiffener weld callout

Intermittent fillet welds use separated weld segments rather than one continuous bead. The length value gives each segment, while pitch gives the repeat spacing. Placing the same notation on both sides of the reference line communicates matching welds on the two sides of a web stiffener. The callout is useful when the fabrication specification requires a controlled weld pattern. Before using the layout in a build or document, compare every label with the source requirements and update the drawing when parts, conditions, or materials change. The example is deliberately small so the essential relationships remain readable, easy to review with collaborators, and ready to extend with the details required for the actual project.

The request

“Draw a welding symbol for 5 mm intermittent fillet welds on both sides of a web stiffener, 40 mm long at 120 mm pitch, using FCAW.”

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01Both sides

Each side of the stiffener is welded.

02Intermittent pattern

Length and pitch limit the weld runs.

03Process

The tail names FCAW.

Use for structural stiffeners where intermittent welds are specified.

FAQ

Common questions

What is an intermittent weld?

It is a series of separated weld segments along a joint.

What is pitch?

Pitch is the center-to-center distance between intermittent weld segments.

Why show both sides?

It specifies a weld on each side of the joint.
