Laser welding drawings callout

[kkeenn]

I am looking for a reference that I can use to callout a laserweld on a drawing. In the past I have used an arrow followed by LBW and numbered note that specifies depth and class of welds. The welding houses I work with hate this because of how they have to verify depth. However, when I ask how they would prefer the callout they never offer an alternative and say that the note on depth is "fine." So how do you callout laser welds on drawings?

I have not used laser welding for several years, but I used to only callout the type of laser and depth. The laser operators only care about this.

It's been 5yrs for me, but when I needed to call it out, I did as you did kkeen. I never had an issue with it.
