Answer: SMAW, GMAW, MCAW, FCAW, SAW, ESW, EGW, SW
●● Filler metals and allied materials are classified under what standard ?
Answer: CSA W48
●● What processes filler metals and other materials not covered under
CSA W48?
Answer: Stud welding is not covered under CSA W48. It shall conform
to the requirements of clause 3.1.2.2

this standard shall be covered under the acceptance criteria of what other
standard ?
Answer: CSA W47.1
,●● 3.1.3 Prequalified joints
What processes are deemed pre qualified as long as they conform to
what clause ? And therefore are approved for use with out joint welding
qualification providing that welding procedures also conform to clause
4,5,10
Answer: SMAW, SAW, FCAW, MCAW (spray transfer) and GMAW
(spray transfer) as long as they conform to clause 10 shall be deemed as
prequalified .
●● 3.2 Base metal
Steel base metal to be welded under this standard shall conform to what
standard?
*equivalent welding quality shall be established on the basis of
composition and carbon equivalent
Answer: Steel material to be welded should conform to CSA or ASTM
requirements
●● What CSA standard shall steel base metal that is to be welded
conform to ?
Answer: CSA G40.21
, ●● 4.1 Design of welded connections
Welded structures should be designed to permit what ? during
construction
Answer: adequate accessibility
●● Inspection requirements should be defined where ?
Answer: On the plans or in the specifications
