ASNT LEVEL II EXAM LATEST 2025 ACTUAL EXAM WITH COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS (100% VERIFIED
ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+| ||PROFESSOR VERIFIED||
What is significant about orbital welding and purging with argon? -
ANSWER-A slight pressure is required on the ID so the weld does
not become concave.
What measures concavity or convexity on a weld? - ANSWER-
Magnahelic (it measure pressure flow)
What is significant about filling a tube with argon when welding? -
ANSWER-Argon is heavier than air. Fill from the lowest point to
avoid pockets of air being trapped.
What are other terms for the weld inspector? - ANSWER-Owner's
inspector or 3rd party inspector
What are the two ways to certify a weld inspector? - ANSWER-
With an AWS CWI (American Welding Society Certified Welding
Inspector) or ASNT SNT-TC-1A VT Level II (American Society of
Non-destructive testing)

How long is the ASNT Level II good for? - ANSWER-5 years
within the same company
What level must a Level I work under? - ANSWER-Level II or
higher
List the five basic joint types in welding. - ANSWER-Butt joint
Tee Joint
Lap joint
Edge joint
Corner joint
5 basic types of welds - ANSWER-groove, fillet, slot/plug, spot,
and seam
What are the possible positions - ANSWER-For both groove or
fillet weld:
1 (flat)
,3|Page
2 (horizontal)
3 (vertical)
4 (overhead)
Pipe:
1 (rolled)
2 (horizontal)
5 (vertical not rolled)
6 (welded at a 45 degree angle)
What causes discoloration on a stainless steel weld? - ANSWER-
Oxygen burning on the surface of the material and oxidizing. The
oxidation causes the material to corrode faster than normal
What causes solidification cracks? - ANSWER-weld being cooled
too quickly and will occur as the weld is cooling longitudinal to the
weld
, 4|Page
why do cold cracks form? - ANSWER-cold cracks are caused by
a stress factor on the joint that could cause cracking days after
the weld has cooled and can occur transversely or longitudinally
on the weld
What is undercut? - ANSWER-when the welder was melting the
base metal and melted part of it away and did not fill it in
completely with the weld puddle. Will always be on the base metal
- due to poor welding techniques
what is porosity? - ANSWER-a void in the weld metal itself,
caused by inadequate shielding of the weld puddle. caused by
incorrect gas mixture, lack of gas, or bad techniques
what is underfill? - ANSWER-when the surface of the weld
extends below the surface of the base metal.
What causes underfill? - ANSWER-caused by inadequate filler
material to fill the joint
