Q1.
A welded joint in a CSA W59-compliant structure shows a linear indication on the
radiograph. The indication is 25 mm long, located in the weld metal, and has a width of 0.5
mm. According to CSA W59-18, what is the maximum allowable length for such an
indication in a statically loaded structure?
A. 12 mm B. 19 mm
C. 25 mm D. 38 mm
Correct: C - 25 mm
Rationale:CSA W59-18 Table 4 allows linear indications in weld metal up to 25 mm for
statically loaded structures. The indication length equals the limit, so it is acceptable. Option A
(12 mm) is for dynamically loaded structures; B (19 mm) and D (38 mm) are not specified
limits.
Q2.
During a welding procedure qualification test for a complete joint penetration groove weld
in accordance with CSA W47.1, a guided bend test specimen fails due to a discontinuity
exceeding 3 mm. Which of the following actions is mandatory before requalification?
A. Reduce the welding heat input by at least B. Increase preheat temperature by 50°C
10%
C. Perform a thorough root cause analysis D. Submit a new welding procedure
and document corrective actions specification (WPS) to the engineer
Correct: C - Perform a thorough root cause analysis and document corrective actions
Rationale:CSA W47.1 requires a root cause analysis and corrective action before
requalification to prevent recurrence. Simply changing parameters (A or B) without analysis is
insufficient. Submitting a new WPS (D) is not mandatory; the existing WPS can be revised.
Q3.
An inspector observes a fillet weld with a measured convexity of 3 mm for a leg size of 8
mm. According to CSA W59, what is the maximum allowable convexity for this weld?
A. 1 mm B. 2 mm
C. 3 mm D. 4 mm
Correct: B - 2 mm
Page 3
, Section A - Welding Processes AND Procedures
Rationale: CSA W59 limits fillet weld convexity to 1 mm plus 0.1 times the leg size. For an 8
mm leg: 1 + 0.8 = 1.8 mm, rounded to 2 mm. The observed 3 mm exceeds this, so it is
rejectable. Options A, C, D are incorrect per the formula.
Q4.
A steel structure fabricated to CSA W59 requires Charpy V-notch impact testing for a
welded joint. The specified minimum average absorbed energy is 27 J at -30°C. During
testing, three specimens yield values of 25 J, 28 J, and 30 J. What is the inspector's
disposition?
A. Accept because the average (27.7 J) B. Reject because one value is below 27 J
exceeds 27 J
C. Reject because the average does not D. Accept only if the lowest value is retested
exceed 27 J by at least 5 J
Correct: B - Reject because one value is below 27 J
Rationale:CSA W59 requires that no single specimen be below the specified minimum (27 J).
Here, one value (25 J) is below, so the test fails. The average alone is not sufficient (A).
There is no requirement for a 5 J margin (C). Retesting the lowest value is not allowed; all
three must meet the minimum (D).
Q5.
A welding inspector is evaluating a repair weld on a pressure vessel made of SA-516 Gr.
70. The original weld was made using E7018 electrodes. The repair must be performed
using the same welding process. Which of the following preheat temperatures is required
if the ambient temperature is 10°C and the thickness at the weld joint is 25 mm?
A. 10°C B. 50°C
C. 100°C D. 150°C
Correct: B - 50°C
Rationale:For SA-516 Gr. 70, the minimum preheat temperature per CSA W59 is 50°C for
thicknesses up to 25 mm when the ambient temperature is below 10°C. Since ambient is
exactly 10°C, preheat is required. Option A (10°C) is ambient, not preheat. C and D are
excessively high for this material and thickness.
Q6.
Which of the following discontinuities is most likely to be detected by ultrasonic testing
but not by radiography in a butt weld?
A. Slag inclusion B. Lack of sidewall fusion
