Where is the fillet weld's size shown?

• A. On the right of the fillet weld symbol
• B. At the left of the fillet weld symbol
• C. After the effective throat size
• D. Inside the tail of the welding symbol

Answer: (B)

In welding symbols, the size of a fillet weld (its leg length) is shown on the left side of the fillet weld symbol on the reference line. This placement makes the weld size immediately associated with the weld itself as you read the symbol from left to right. The right side of the symbol is used for the weld length and other details like contour or finish, while the tail holds notes or supplementary information. So the size sits to the left, not on the right or inside the tail.
