Which statement correctly describes the location of the pitch measurement for an intermittent fillet weld?

Which statement correctly describes the location of the pitch measurement for an intermittent fillet weld?

• A. On the left 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: (D)

Pitch is the spacing between the repeated welds along an intermittent weld. In welding symbols, the size or length of each individual weld sits to the left of the symbol, while the spacing between those welds—the pitch—belongs on the right side. The tail is reserved for supplementary notes or references rather than measurements. So the pitch distance being shown on the right side of the weld symbol aligns with how the symbol separates the size of each weld from the spacing between them. If the pitch were placed elsewhere, it would blur which dimension refers to the weld itself versus how often it repeats along the joint. For example, a fillet weld with a length of 12 mm and a pitch of 25 mm means each weld is 12 mm long and successive welds are spaced 25 mm apart.
