QC INTERVIEW

PAPER
Q.1 WHAT ARE THE PROPERTIES OF TEST FLUID?

IT SHOULD NOT BE CORROSIVE

IT SHOULD NOT BE TOXIC
IT SHOULD NOT BE REACTIVE
IT SHOULD NOT BE

2. What are the documents that you should assure before going to
site?

This has been also asked to me and I was a little bit shocked because,
after the question, my mind was scanning, and trying to recall what are
those documents.

Here are the documents that you need to assure. First is drawing, make
sure that the drawings are approved. Second is Method Statement, make
sure that you have made the MS and got approval from the Engineer. Third
is Inspection & Test Plan, make sure that you also have made the ITPs
including Checklists for all your works on site. Fourth is Material Submittal,
make sure the materials you want to check are approved.

3. What are your Strengths and Weaknesses?

If this is your first time to hear these questions, then read on and then learn.
But before you go further, let me share you how I became so intensely
shocked because it was my first time had to hear that. I found later that it is
very simple. Ill give you examples of Strength and Weakness so you will
not become rattled when an interviewer would ask you this.

4.1 Strength

1. Loyal to the company

2. Punctual
3. Hard working
4. Know how to maintain time management

4.2 Weakness

1. Cant refuse other co-workers requests or help

2. Doing too many works at one day
3. Handling too many projects at once

So you can now remember these examples. If you can notice about
weakness, we turn the negative into positive.

If you enjoyed and learned the possible questions during the interview, you
may share this with your favorite social networks below.

1. Which element could effect the hardness of carbon steel material?

CARBON

2. How will you qualify welder for on-plot process piping?

BY PERFORMANCE TEST(WQT)PER ASME-IX

3. Write 4 common welding defects in SMAW process?

a) POROSITY b) SLAG c) LOP d) LOF e) SPATTERS f) ROOT CONCAVITY g)
UNDERCUT(ROOT & TOE)

4. What are the causes of weld defect Porosity?

Improper baking of Low Hydrogen electrode, inadequate shielding of welding
area, improper cleaning of joint surface, inadequate preheating

5. Why pre-heat is done on some pipes before start welding?

i.

It slows the cooling rate in the weld metal and base metal, producing a more
ductile metallurgical structure with greater resistance to cracking; ii.

The slower cooling rate provides an opportunity for hydrogen that may be present
to diffuse out harmlessly, reducing the potential for cracking; iii.

It reduces the shrinkage stresses in the weld and adjacent base metal, which is
especially important in highly restrained joints; and iv.

It raises some steels above the temperature at which brittle fracture would occur in
fabrication

6. If welder qualifies on 2G and 5G positions, how many positions he can

qualified?
All positions

7. Name the 2 types of flux used in SAW____________________

Neutral & basic

8. Which welding process shall be used for all passes for butt welds in
piping and set-in fittings less than 2 inch NPS?
GTAW

9. DMW means____?
Dissimilar Metal Weld, such as CS to SS.
