By consulting the WPSs

The fabrication drawing will give all the information
The welder will decide
The inspector will recommend what is suitable
3. How are the length of tack welds during assembly and fit-up determined?
By the welder as they have extensive knowledge

The fabrication specification will give minimum tack length requirements Jan 11
The fabrication drawing will give all the information
Any length of tack weld will do for assembly
4. Is it always necessary to preheat the base material before welding?
Not on sunny day

Only in accordance with the WPS
If the equipment is available it must be used
If using cellulosic rods these will provide enough heat
5. Which of the following would not be required to be checked before welding?
The welding consumables

The weld root gap
PWHT temperature range
The weld preparation
6. What does the term WPS mean?
Weld productivity specification

Welding production scheme
Welding Procedure Specifications
Work Productivity standards
7. Which standard is used for the basic requirements for visual inspection?
BS EN 17637
API 1104
BS EN 7079
BS EN 4515
8. Who is responsibilities for site safety?
Site engineer
Welding supervisor
An approved inspector
Everyone
9. Is it permissible to allow welding to be carried out in bad weather?
Never
Yes as long as there is adequate protection from the poor weather conditions
Yes a long as basic low hydrogen welding electrodes are used
Yes as long as the welder is prepared to work in the rain
10. Who has the responsibility of ensuring the welder is using the correct consumables during fabrication?
The Q/A department

Store man and the welder
Welding Engineering
The welder and the welding inspector
11. When would you measure the interpass temperature?
The highest temperature recorded in the welded joint immediately prior to depositing the next run
Immediately prior to commencing the first pass
When the welding is complete
Only required if the heat input is lower than that specified in WPS
12. During root welding, which if the following would be the main cause of burn through?
The current is too high

The root gap is too small in accordance with WPS
Preheat not used
Root face is too large
13. You notice the welders are adjusting the current on the welding set, is the allowable?
Never
The welder has the final say on voltage and current
Only if the current is within the range recorded on the WPS
As long as the welder has approval from the welding foreman
14. What course of action should be taken upon finding a welder using incorrect welding consumables?
Report the incident and record all relevant information

Allow welding to proceed if the workmanship is good
None if the tensile strength of the consumable is the same as the approved one
Change the electrode for the correct type and continue welding
15. What is the maximum OCV allowable to initiate an arc when using AC current?
1000V
10V
90V
900V
16. Why is the OCV capped at the voltage setting?
To save electricity
To prevent exploding of consumables
Allow smooth transition into welding voltage range
To reduce the risk of fatality
17. What information should be recorded as a minimum, on completed production weld?
Size and type of electrode used

Welding supervisor’s name
Welder’s identification, date and weld number
Welding inspector name
18. What is meant by the term PWHT?
Pipe weld heat treatment

Pre weld heat treatment

Post weld hydrogen tearing
Post weld heat treatment
19. Why would visual inspection of the excess weld metal at the bottom of a cross country pipeline be important?
It is the most difficult area to weld

It is the dirtiest part of the pipe as it is near the ground
Welders always forget to weld the bottom
It is the most difficult area to radiograph
20. Who has the final responsibility of sentencing and accepting a weld on completion?
The contractor’s inspector

Site manager
The welder
The client’s inspector or certifying authority
21. Why is it essential to clean the excess weld metal on completion of the production weld?
So it can be ready for painting

To remove any rust
To ensure it is suitably clean for visual inspection and NDT
To remove slag from the undercut
22. To assess the surface of a weld for direct inspection, the distance from the surface to the eye should be maximum of?
200mm
600mm
60mm
6000mm
23. Who should select the specific welds for NDT, to cover the 10% contractual percentage required by the specification/code?
Anyone can select the welds as its just a random choice

The welder as he knows which welds are likely to produce the least defects
This will be referenced in the inspection and test plan
Nobody, as welding is always carried out to a high standard the use of the percentage NDT is of no real value
24. In a welding procedure transverse joint tensile test the following observation were made. The specimen CSA was recorded as
25mm x 12mm and the maximum load applied was recorded as 150kN. What is the UTS?
50kN/mm2
5500N/mm2
500N/mm2
50N/mm2
25. In a transverse weld tensile test, if the break was in the weld metal, the sample would be:
Rejected
Retested
Acceptable if the UTS is equal to or greater than the specified UTS of the plate
Acceptable if the UTS is between 80-90% of specified UTS of the plate
26. In an all weld tensile test, the original specimen gauge length was 50mm, and after the test the increased gauge length was
60mm, what is the elongation percentage?
%A is 50
A is 20
%A is 29
%A is 36
27. Some codes require the excess weld metal (weld cap) on cross weld joint tensile specimens to be flush, this is because:
Flushed caps will always break in the weld metal area
This is to remove any porosity in the excess weld metal (weld cap)
It is easier to calculate the cross sectional area of the joint when flushed
Flushed caps have fewer stress raisers and therefore give a more accurate result
28. In welder qualification testing of 20mm plates, why are side bends used instead of root and face bends?
They are easier to produce
The testing equipment can not handle thick root/face bends

Root defects are not important for welder qualification
They give more accurate indications
29. Mechanical tests are divided in two areas, identify these from the list below:
When examining a completed bend test, the angle of the bend was found to be 175 degree. The testing specification calls for the
sample to have been formed through 180 degree.
The bends should be considered as failed

They should be bent to 180 degree re-examined
They should be acceptable as the reduction in angle is due to material spring back
They should be rejected as the angle is not close enough to be acceptable.
30. Charpy testing is carried out on a welding procedure test plate because?
It gives an indication of the through thickness ductility (in the Z direction)

The impact test results can be used to verify that the material has not been adversely affected by the heat of the
welding
It give an indication of the materials elongation properties
It give a quick indication of the weld quality for welder qualification test.
