Welding positions – overview diagram
A welding-position designation describes the position of the joint and weld during production. The overview diagram shows the main welding positions in one place.
- PA: flat position;
- PB: horizontal-vertical fillet position;
- PC: horizontal position;
- PD: overhead fillet position;
- PE: overhead position;
- PF: vertical-up welding;
- PG: vertical-down welding.
