The private organization that does not actually prepare standards, but instead adopts
standards that it determines are of value to the public interest is called the
jump the chain of command
If you are directed to perform work that you believe is unsafe and your immediate
supervisor directs you to do it anyway, you should
requalifying the welding procedure
Essential variables identified by a welding procedure specification (WPS) are items that
cannot be changed without
procedure qualification record (PQR)
The results of testing a WPS are recorded on a
contamination
Most porosity is caused by improper welding techniques and
toe cracks
Thermal shrink acting on a heat-affeted zone that has become embrittled is a common
cause of
incomplete joint penetration
The failure of the filler metal to make its way into and fuse with an area of the weld joint
is known as
overlap
When a weld metal rolls over onto the plate surface, it is referred to as
undercut
A groove is melted into the base metal beside the weld in a condition called
1/8" (3.2mm)
On a groove weld, the bead width should not exceed the width of the groove by more
than
excessive convexity
The unacceptable fillet weld profile shown in the figure above is an example of
confirmed by measurements
Prior to welding, the base metal should be examined for conditions that may cause weld
defects, and the required dimensions should be

The most common defects found by a liquid penetrant test are
Any defects deep within the weld
Which of these type of defects is not likely to be detected using magnetic particle
inspection?
ultrasonic inspection
Pulse transmission refers to a type of
Tensile test
Which destructive test requires that the sample be pulled until it breaks?
