Which of the following statements is correct?
API 577 provides guidance to the API authorized inspector on welding inspection.
The actual throat of a weld is best described as:
The shortest distance between the weld root and the face of a fillet weld.
The term "arc blow" refers to which of the following?
The deflection of the arc due to magnetic forces.
An autogenous weld is a weld that is best described by which of the following?
A weld made without filler metal.
In welding, a discontinuity is defined as:
An interuption of the typical structure of a material.
The heat affected zone of a weld is best described by which of the following?
That portion of the base metal whose mechanical properties or microstructure have been altered by
the heat of welding or thermal cutting
Welding inspection includes which of the following?
Visual and nondestructive examination of the welds, Review of specifications, welding procedures,
and welder qualifications, Review of joint designs and cleaning procedures.
Which of the following tasks are not normally performed by the inspector prior to welding?
Check the appearance and size of welds.
. Who is responsible for the "quality craftsmanship" of weldments?
The welder.
During welding operations, the inspector should:
Confirm welding parameters and techniques are supported by the WPS and WPQ, Complete physical
checks, visual examinations, and in process NDE, Establish a quality control and quality assurance
umbrella with the welding organization.
Following the completion of welding, and before the completed welds are placed in service, the
inspector should:
a. Verify post weld acceptance and that NDE was performed at the selected locations, Verify that post
weld heat treatments and pressure testing were performed, if required, and that the results were
acceptable, Audit the inspection files to identify inaccuracies and incomplete information
If at any time during welding inspection the inspector discover defects or nonconformances, he/she
should:
, The defects or nonconformances should be brought to the attention of those responsible or corrected
before the work proceeds further.
If ASME Section V, Article 1 is specified by the referenceing code, NDE personnel:
Shall be qualified in accordance with ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ANSI/ASNT CP-189.
API 577 requires that inspectors should be aware of the hazards associated with welding and take
steps to avoid injury while performing inspection tasks. As a minimum, the inspector should:
Follow all site safety rules and regulations.
API 577 describes all but which of the following welding processes?
Electro Slag Welding.
Which of the following weld processes uses a flux coated electrode?
SMAW.
Which of the following weld processes uses a non consumable electrode?
GMAW.
Which of the following weld processes uses a flux filled tubular electrode?
FCAW.
Which of the following is not an advantage of SMAW?
The deposition rate is higher than for GMAW or SAW.
Which of the following is not an advantage of GTAW?
GTAW is tolerant of contamination of the base metal or filler metal.
Which of the following is not a mode of metal transfer for gas metal arc welding?
Resistance Transfer.
Which of the following modes of metal transfer for the GMAW process uses the highest energy?
Spray Transfer.
Which of the following modes of metal transfer for the GMAW process uses the lowest energy?
Short Circuiting Transfer.
Which of the following is not an advantage of the GMAW process?
Deep penetration when using the short circuiting metal transfer mode.
Which of the following is not an advantage of the FCAW welding process?
The equipment is less complex and costly than for SMAW.
