Welding Symbols Based on AWS or BS EN or Generic Standard?

[Anonymous]

Can anyone tell me to what standard the welding symbols in inventor are based on ie is it AWS A2.4 (American welding society) or BS EN 22553 Latest

revision.

Are the welding symbols based on a combination of both or just a generic standard.

According to the "Comments" field for the Weld Symbol style in the Style and Standard Editor, it is based on AWS/ANSI A2.4-93.

This is from the default "Weld Symbol (ANSI)" style in Inventor.  My Style Library has been migrated several times, so the release year this corresponds to is somewhat indeterminate - possibly as old as Inventor 2010.

It depends on what Styles standard you are looking at

ANSI - AWS/ANSI A2.4-93

BSI, ISO and DIN - ISO 2553 - 1984

GB - GB 324-88

JIS - JIS Z 3021 - 1987

All the above are taken from the Styles and Standard Editor Library supplied by default with Inventor 2018
