Dialog box section Dimensions
Cross-section dimension Specifies the seam thickness (a or s) or the limb length (z) of the welded seam. You leave this field open to weld work pieces over the complete length.
Length dimension Specifies the length of the welded seam.
Welding process 1 and 2 Specifies the code of the welding process on the symbol fork.
The assignment of the codes for the processes conforms to ISO 4063.
You can supplement the process figures in the symbol fork with further details for types of weld and dimensions. They must be separated by forward slashes and are to be specified in the following sequence:
• Process (e.g. according to ISO 4063)
• Assessment group (e.g. according to ISO 5817 and ISO 10042)
• Working position (e.g. according to ISO 6947)
• Additional materials (e.g. according to ISO 544, ISO 2560 and ISO 3581)
Examples
ath_swsy_masz
Welding symbol (cross-section dimension and length dimension)
ath_swsy_prozess
Welding symbol (one/two welding processes)
Dialog box section Type
Site seam Defines a site seam. This is taken to mean that the welding process is carried out on the construction site. This is indicated with a tag.
All round seam Defines an all round seam. This is taken to mean that the welding process takes place over the circumference of the part. This is indicated with a circle.
Reference Reference is taken to mean the reference to the welding process with a number which is explained on the drawing in the vicinity of the text field using legends. Enter the number in the input fields Welding process 1 or Welding process 2. Important: This does not work if you enter something in both fields.
ath_swsy_nahtart
Welding symbol (Site seam, All around seam, Reference seam)
Dialog box section Page
Here you define whether the welded seam is to be applied to the elevation side or opposite side.
ath_swsy_seite
Welding symbol (Elevation side, Opposite side)
Dialog box section Leader text
Here you define whether the leader text is to appear above or below the leader line.
Selecting a type of welded seam When you select a welded seam from the list, it is depicted as a preview. Alternatively, you can also click the graphical illustration and select a type of seam in the dialog box with the graphical overview. To do this, page through the views using the buttons Previous and Next until you find the desired welded seam. Then click the appropriate picture or the name at the left margin of the dialog box to mark the type of seam. OK closes the overview and transfers the seam to the previous dialog box.
