D1.

1 Specific- Not actual test questions but may get you looking in the
right place. I may not even be sure of some of the answers !

Is a AWS CWI required for visual inspection of weld metal and

workmanship issues when work is condcuted under D1.1 code?

1.A welder is qualified on an overhead plate, full penetration groove test.

Can he weld a 2F pipe joint?

2. What is the surface roughness acceptability for a cut edge on 5" thick
material?

question: FCAW Process using Prequal joint detail BTC-P10-GF. Q.:

Inspector is called out to look at this joint prior to welding. The inspector
measures the root opening and finds the opening is 3/16". Is this an
acceptable root opening for the joint per D1.1.

State either 'yes' or 'no' and show paragraphs to support answers.

1) Can E6010 Downhill be used for fabrication in accordance with AWS

D1.1 for structural steel?

2) Can a Prequalified WPS be prepared for welding CJP grooves from

one side without backing for T, Y, K connections?

3) What is the maximum weave width allowed for SMAW for a vertical
weld?

4) Is voltage a required variable for SMAW welding?

5) When welding fillet welds in two opposing planes, should the weld be
wrapped around the corners?

6) If a welder qualifies with GMAW-S is he qualified to weld with FCAW-S.

7) Can a welder who qualifed on a CJP groove weld in accordance with

AWS D1.1 weld on a fillet weld attached to a 2" diameter pipe in the same
position?

8) True or false. 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G are designations of positions to be

welded in production.

9) What chapter in the code addresses prequalified WPS,

10) What chapter in the code addresses qualification of welders and

procedures by testing.

11) What chapter addresses production welding requirements.

12) Does AWS D1.1 prohibit a CWI from inspecting and accepting welds.

General Welding

1) Name 5 types of weld joints

2) Which process uses a consumable electrode and guide tube. SAW,

FCAW, ESW.

3) What process has greater sensitivity to detect rounded discontinuities

open to the surface in carbon steel? MT, PT, RT, UT

4) Slag trapped in a weld will show up on a radiograph because - 1) Metal

is missing where the slag is located 2) The slag casts a "shadow" on the
film. 3) Slag absorbs radiation and causes darker areas on the film.

5) What inspection method would be most likely to detect laminations in

plate ? UT-Straight Beam, UT Angle Beam, MT, PT, none of the above.

6) What process cannot be used for overhead groove welds. GMAW,

FCAW, SMAW, SAW.

And I am sure there are others. Remember that you will never get actual
code questions online anywhere. But any welding related questions may
help you learn whare to find the answers. And if nothing else, make you
know more.

State either 'yes' or 'no' and show paragraphs to support answers.

FCAW Process using Prequal joint detail BTC-P10-GF. Q.: Inspector is

called out to look at this joint prior to welding. The inspector measures
the root opening and finds the opening is 3/16". Is this an acceptable root
opening for the joint per D1.1.

State either 'yes' or 'no' and show paragraphs to support answers.

Doubling the leg size of an equal leg fillet weld increases the
Weight/Volume of weld metal by a factor of 2
strength by a factor of 1.707
volume and weight by a factor of 4
time to weld by two
Requires a larger welding rod

2. Copper can be effectively used as backing because

It melts at a higher temperature than steel
oxides form on the surface that prevent bonding to t he steel
The thermal conductivity of copper allows it to efficiently absorb
energy
the chemical differences do not allow copper and steel to melt
together
None of the above, copper is never used as backing

3. GTAW welding of aluminum can be performed with

DCRP
DCSP
ACHF
2 and 3
All the above

4. Which of the following codes does not indicate specific acceptance

criteria for production welding.
AWS D1.1
 ASME B31.3
ASME Sec I
ASME Sec IX
NONE OF THE ABOVE

5. Per ASME Sec. IX, If a welder qualifies using GTAW on carbon steel
(P-1) pipe without purge is he/she qualified to weld 304 SS with purge
provided all other variables remain the same
Yes
No
It depends on the piping code B31.1 or B31.3
ASME Sec IX Does not address these requirements
NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION IS GIVEN

6. Which of the following defects cannot be easily located with

radiography
Laminations
cracks perpendicular to the film plane
Porosity
Incomplete Penetration
Slag

7. Which end of a gouging rod must point towards the work piece
The pointed end
The copper covered end
either provided the air is flowing over the rod
either provided the air is flowing between the rod and work piece
Any of the above

8. Effective preheating will

Increase cooling times
Increase distortion
Increase residual stress
 Both 1 and 3
Both 2 and 3

9. PWHT is an acronym for

Preheat With High Temperature
Post Weld Heat Treatment
Precision Welded High Tensile
Post Weld Hydrostatic Test
Pretty Welders have teeth

10. Which weld is stronger in tension

FCAW Self Shielded Using E71T11
FCAW Self Shielded Using E-71T1
GMAW using ER70S-3
GTAW using ER-70S-2
None of the above

11. "Walking the cup" is a term used to describe

technique for GTAW welding the edge of a pipe
A technique that rests the gas cup on the metal being welded and the
torch is rotated in a pattern that causes forward and side to side motion.
A technique in which the root weld on pipe is welded that opens a
"keyhole" while welding.
None of the above
All of the above

12. A butt welded joint in carbon steel that is restrained during welding
and cooling will
Have high residual stress
be stronger than on that is not restrained
Not ever crack
Have to be stress relieved
All the above
13. Residual Stress can be decreased by
allowing parts to move freely during welding
Using a "Back Step" sequence
Post weld heat treatment
Both 2 and 3
Both 1 and 3

14. A double bevel groove weld is

Shaped like a vee since both pieces are beveled

Yes
No
Only if approved by the customer

18. Excess preheat and interpass temperatures on high strength low alloy
steel such as A-514 will be most likely to
Cracking
Porosity

before welding

19. Glass is
