Explanation
A single v-groove weld is a type of weld that is called out in this question. This type of weld involves making a V-shaped groove on one side of the joint, and then filling it with weld metal. It is commonly used for butt joints, where two pieces of metal are joined together along their edges. The V-groove helps to provide better penetration and stronger welds.

Explanation
A single bevel groove weld is called out by the symbol. This type of weld is used when only one side of the joint is accessible for welding. It involves preparing a bevel on one side of the joint, creating a V-shaped groove, and filling it with weld metal. This type of weld provides good penetration and strength, making it suitable for joining thick plates or when a strong joint is required. Double v-groove, single v-groove, and double groovy weld are not the correct types of weld called out by the symbol.
