The pitch between intermittent weld segments is typically shown in relation to which element on the symbol?

• A. On the left side of the weld symbol
• B. In the tail of the reference line
• C. After the pitch measurement
• D. On the right side of the weld symbol

Answer: (C)

The spacing between intermittent weld segments is called the pitch, and it is shown with the pattern of intermittent welds in a way that keeps the spacing clear from the length of each weld. The convention is to place the pitch value right after the pitch measurement itself, so you read the symbol as “welds of this length with this spacing.” This keeps the information about how long each weld is separate from how far apart they are along the joint. Other parts of the symbol are used for different details, but the pitch detail belongs with the measurement line that defines the spacing, placed after that measurement.
