The weld-all-around symbol or also called Peripheral weld is used to represent a weld that encircles a group of interconnected joints. In simple weld, a Weld around Symbol shows a weld that is made all around the weld location. This symbol is in the form of a circle placed at the intersection of the arrow and reference lines.
““Weld all around” typically refers to a welding technique where a weld is made along the entire circumference of a joint. This means that the weld runs continuously around the joint, forming a complete circle, and is not just applied at specific points or sections of the joint.
