In ISO 2553 symbolic representation, what does the dashed line indicate?

• A. The same side of the joint weld preparation as where the broken arrowhead is pointing.
• B. The other side of the joint, away from where the arrowhead is pointing.
• C. The same side of the joint as where the arrowhead is pointing.
• D. The other side of the joint from where the arrowhead is pointing.

Answer: (D)

In ISO 2553, the arrow shows where the joint is and which side the weld symbol refers to, while a dashed line indicates the opposite face of the joint. The dashed line tells you the weld is on the far side, away from where the arrowhead points. This helps distinguish backside welds from those on the face side, guiding the welder to weld on the opposite surface.
