i would like to weld two 1/8 fillet welds 1/4 inch long on 1鈥?rod 180掳 apart. which is the proper way to callout the weld per ams 2.4:
   
1/8 (fillet symbol) 1/4鈥?180掳
or:
1/8 (fillet symbol) 1/4鈥?1/2鈥?br />
or:
1/8 (fillet symbol) 1/4鈥?2 23/64鈥?br />
note: 2 23/6 is the approximate circular distance around the perimeter of the rod.
check here:
the basic question is what is the proper way to define the pitch on a circular weld path? should you do it with an angle or a circular length?
sorry about that, i thought that web page would answer your question.  i would circular length unless the starting point is critical and you're not wanting it to go 360 deg.
