1. CSA Standard W59 covers the welding requirements for what type of steel
construction?: The welding requirements of CSA Standard W59 can be applied to carbon and low-alloy welded
steel
2. What types of structures are covered in CSA Standard W59?: CSA Standard W59
covers statically- and cyclically-loaded (repetitive loading) structures.
3. What is a low-hydrogen electrode?: A low-hydrogen electrode is an electrode that deposits weld
metal with a specified maximum limit of diffusible hydrogen.
4. What are the requirements for contractor certification?: When mandated in the
contract or in the governing design Standard*, all Contractors performing work under this Standard must be certified
to CSA W47.1 for welded fabrications.
5. What welding processes are covered in CSA Standard W59?: This standard covers the

6. Does CSA Standard W59 specify requirements for stud welding?: Yes, Clause 6 has
requirements for stud welding.
7. Does CSA Standard W59 contain provisions for pre-qualified joints?: Yes, Clause
10 has details for the geometry of joints that are prequalified, provided
the welding procedures
8. What base metals can be welded under CSA Standard W59?: Welding Supervisor -
the company's designated person(s)
directly responsible for ensuring that qualified tack welders, welders, and welding operators weld in accordance with
approved or accepted welding procedure data sheets in the shop and the field.
9. The requirements for welding symbols are specified in what standard?: Weld-
ing symbols shall be as shown in AWS Standard A2.4, together with the additional conventions developed for CSA
Standard W59 and shown in Annex D of CSA Standard W59.
10. What information should be given on a design drawing?: A design drawing should
contain:
information for preparation of detail and erection drawings;
the effective throat thickness shall be defined, if there are partial penetration groove welds.
11. What typical welding information would you expect to find on an erection
or detail drawing?: A) location, type, size and length of all welds:
B) distinguish between shop and field welds;

C) groove depths and joint preparations, if there are partial penetration joints,together with the position of welding;
D) any notes required, e.g. welding sequence, control of distortion, etc..
12. What are the types of welds as specified in CSA Standard W59?: Welds are
classified as groove, fillet, plug or slot welds.
13. What is a complete joint penetration (CJP) groove weld?: A CJP groove weld is one
that has complete penetration and fusion of weld and
base metal throughout the thickness of the joint.
14. What is a partial joint penetration groove weld?: A partial joint penetration groove weld
is defined as one having
joint penetration less than complete
15. Does CSA Standard W59 allow for the use of intermittent groove welds?: No.
Groove welds must be continuous for the full length of the joint or as otherwise permitted by the Engineer.

bient temperature of -5°C, using E48018 electrode: 10°C
20. The maximum gap permissible after assembly of a butt joint to be groove
welded, with steel backing bar, and with a root opening of 6 mm:: 12mm
21. The largest size notch in a flare cut edge that the fabricator can remove by
grinding without approval is:: 5mm
22. A 6 mm fillet weld, the actual minimum size must be deposited if the gap
between par is 0.8 mm:: 6mm
23. Which type of weld is prohibited for dynamically loaded structures:: Slot Weld
24. For the purpose of CSA W59 standard, welds shall be classified as:: all of the
above (Plug, Fillet, Groove).
25. SAW fillet welds made in flat or horizontal position, except single pass fillet
welds made in
horizontal position shall not exceed: 8mm
26. In Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), the max size electrode for vertical
fillets and groove welds are:: 9mm
