The vertical line used in the fillet, bevel-groove, and J-groove welding symbol is always drawn to the left side of the symbol drawing.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Always on the right side

Answer: (A)

In welding symbols, information is arranged in a consistent way so readers can quickly interpret the joint. For the common weld shapes, the vertical line that forms part of the symbol is placed on the left side of the reference line. This left-side placement signals that the weld details (like size and type) pertain to the arc-side of the joint and keeps the symbol orientation uniform across drawings with multiple welds. Because of this standard convention, the statement is correct.
