Which side of the welding symbol indicates the length of an intermittent fillet weld?

• A. Left side of the weld symbol
• B. Right side of the weld symbol
• C. In the tail of the reference line
• D. After the pitch measurement

Answer: (A)

The length of an intermittent fillet weld is shown on the left side of the weld symbol. This placement communicates the length of each individual weld segment along the joint, while the right side (not the tail) is where spacing or pitch between the segments is indicated. The tail and other parts of the symbol carry notes or additional details, not the length. So the left side is the correct place to read the length for intermittent fillet welds.
