How is a request for test all around in the field indicated on a reference line?

• A. With a statement indicating test all around in the field is located in the tail of the reference line.
• B. With a field weld symbol connected to the reference and arrow line intersect with test all around indicated in the tail.
• C. With a test all around symbol centered where the reference and arrow line intersect with the test in field flag attached to the all around symbol.
• D. With a test all around symbol centered where the reference and arrow line intersect with the test in field flag attached to reference and arrow intersect.

Answer: (C)

The key idea is how to show a weld that must go all the way around a joint and be done in the field. The all-around indication is used to tell the welder the weld extends around the circumference, and when it’s to be performed in the field, a field flag is attached to that all-around symbol. Placing the all-around symbol centered at the intersection of the reference and arrow lines communicates the “go all around here” intent, and adding the field flag to that same symbol confirms it’s a field weld. This arrangement ensures the field location and the complete circumferential nature of the weld are clear to the welder. Placing notes in the tail or attaching the flag to the wrong part (such as the reference/arrow lines) would not convey the field and all-around requirements as effectively.
