Where would the length of a test section be indicated?

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

Answer: (B)

In welding symbols on drawings, the length of the weld is shown as a dimension to the right of the weld symbol. The symbol itself conveys the weld type, while the length tells how long along the joint the weld should extend. The left of the symbol is typically used for the weld size (thickness or throat), and the tail is reserved for notes or special requirements, not the main length. So placing the length to the right of the symbol is the standard way to indicate how long the weld needs to be.
