What is a welding procedure specification? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------
a written document that provides direction to the welder for making production
welds in accordance with the code requirements. (QW-100.1)
The purpose for qualification of a WPS ? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------to
determine that the weldment proposed for construction is capable of providing
the required properties for its intended application. QW-100.1
In performance qualification, what is the basic criterion established for welder
qualification? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------QW-100.2 defines the basic
criterion established for welder qualification is to determine the welders ability to
deposit sound weld metal. The basic criterion to establish for welding
qualification is to determine the welding operators mechanical ability to operate
the welding equipment.

test fails. QW-163
A guided bend specimen that has an open discontinuity on the corner of the
convex surface of the specimen after bending that measures 5/32" in length.
What should the inspector do? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Inspect
further for evidence of lack of fusion, slag inclusions, or other internal
discontinuities. QW-163
