Where can the test quantity be found when multiple NDE tests are required?

• A. To the left of the symbol.
• B. To the right of the symbol.
• C. Above or below the symbol.
• D. In the tail of the symbol.

Answer: (C)

In welding symbol notation, when multiple nondestructive examinations (NDE) are required, the number of tests is shown in the area around the NDE indication—specifically above or below the symbol. This placement ties the test quantity directly to that NDE requirement, making it clear how many tests are needed without cluttering the main weld details. The left or right of the symbol is not used for the test quantity, and the tail of the symbol is reserved for notes or special requirements, not for counting tests. If there are different NDE types, each quantity would be shown near its corresponding NDE symbol.
