Welding - Multilingual terms for welded joints with illustrations (ISO 17659:2002)

This International Standard describes by pictorial representation most of the more common terms, in English, French and German, for types of joints, joint preparation and welds.
This International Standard can be used on its own or in conjunction with other similar standards.
NOTE 1 The figures in this International Standard are only sketches that have been drawn to illustrate the typical characteristic features of different types of joint. The figures are not necessarily as they should be portrayed on design or technical drawings (e.g. in accordance with ISO 2553).
NOTE 2 In addition to terms given in two of the three official ISO languages (English and French), this International Standard gives the equivalent terms in the German language; these are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.

Soudage - Liste multilingue de termes relatifs aux assemblages et aux joints soudés, avec illustrations (ISO 17659:2002)

La présente Norme internationale classifie par représentation graphique la plupart des termes les plus courants utilisés en anglais, français et allemand pour décrire les types d’assemblages, de préparations de joints et de soudures.
Elle peut être utilisée seule ou en liaison avec d’autres normes analogues.
NOTE 1 Les figures de la présente Norme internationale sont seulement des dessins destinés à illustrer les particularités caractéristiques des différents types d'assemblages et de joints. Ces derniers ne sont pas nécessairement représentés tels qu'il convient de le faire sur les plans ou dessins techniques (par exemple conformément à l'ISO 2553).
NOTE 2 En complément des termes utilisés dans deux des trois langues officielles de l'ISO (anglais et français), la présente Norme internationale donne les termes équivalents en allemand; ces termes sont publiés sous la responsabilité du comité membre de l'Allemagne (DIN). Toutefois, seuls les termes et définitions donnés dans les langues officielles peuvent être considérés comme étant des termes et définitions de l'ISO.
