Wleding Maps and Welding Map Symbols

A welding map is an important communication tool. The welding map helps teams collaborate effectively to create an accurate piece. The map utilizes standardized drawings to assist in planning the production of a piece. In a welding profession, it is important that one master the fundamentals of how to accurately read and interpret drawings on a typical welding map.

Memorization versus knowing the fundamentals

The industry is divided on what makes sense for professionals. Some people encourage memorizing every single symbol as essential in working with welding maps. Other professionals stress the importance of learning how to read the intricate maps. While both sides have a point, there may actually be the middle ground. Focusing on the most commonly used symbols across the industry while mastering the fundamentals of reading a map will prepare the professional for a successful career.

What does a weld map contain?

The basic construct of a weld map consists of a few symbols. The weld map consist of an arrow, reference line, leader line, and tail. This is the basis for most drawings produced. The arrows dictate the location and orientation of the weld. The reference and leader lines intersect. The tail of a drawing is usually positioned opposite the head of a typical symbol and is forked. Weld maps may incorporate numbering if multiple joints have to be formed.

Weld map symbols are using in planning a project used for creating an initial component or for making a series of repairs. The maps produced guide professionals in creating an assembly or system. While some professionals aren’t able to read a map, others find it a necessity for being in the profession and promoting quality. Designers and engineers work together to collaborate and produce assemblies using these maps as a communication tool. As a part of a certificate program or in an apprenticeship scenario, training on how to interpret the weld map symbols is provided.
