A recent question landed in my inbox from a regular client.
Kyle wondered if we take much notice of weld sizes, or leave it to the fabricator, since in our markups we don’t often mention weld details.
Quick answer – we leave nothing to chance!
We use standards to minimise the amount of repetitive work and communication, so on our standard drawing notes we use this old chestnut:
“All welds shall be 6mm CFW or full penetration butt welds UON”.
Any question asked is worth a decent explanation, so let’s dive in.
First up, some definitions.
