V-groove butt joint callout
A V-groove callout communicates the preparation needed for a butt joint. The included angle and root opening describe the groove before welding. A backing symbol records that support is used behind the root, and the contour and finish state how the completed face is treated. This example gives a fabricator the essential information for a prepared plate splice without relying on a separate written note. 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.

Scenario
A plate splice needs a groove-weld preparation note.
Key decisions
- Groove form: A V-groove prepares both plate edges.
- Root opening: The symbol fixes the 3 mm gap.
- Finish: Flush grinding is called out with G.
When to reuse this
Use for full-penetration-style plate splice specifications where the joint preparation matters.
