What types of structures are covered in CSA Standard W59? - ANSWER-CSA Standard
W59 covers statically- and cyclically-loaded (repetitive loading) structures.
What is a low-hydrogen electrode? - ANSWER-A low-hydrogen electrode is an
electrode that deposits weld metal with a specified maximum limit of diffusible hydrogen.
What are the requirements for contractor certification? - ANSWER-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.
What welding processes are covered in CSA Standard W59? - ANSWER-This standard

processes.
Does CSA Standard W59 specify requirements for stud welding? - ANSWER-Yes,
Clause 6 has requirements for stud welding.
Does CSA Standard W59 contain provisions for pre-qualified joints? - ANSWER-Yes,
Clause 10 has details for the geometry of joints that are prequalified, provided
the welding procedures
What base metals can be welded under CSA Standard W59? - ANSWER-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.
The requirements for welding symbols are specified in what standard? - ANSWER-
Welding 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.
, What information should be given on a design drawing? - ANSWER-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.
What typical welding information would you expect to find on an erection or detail
drawing? - ANSWER-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..
What are the types of welds as specified in CSA Standard W59? - ANSWER-Welds are
classified as groove, fillet, plug or slot welds.
What is a complete joint penetration (CJP) groove weld? - ANSWER-A CJP groove
weld is one that has complete penetration and fusion of weld and
base metal throughout the thickness of the joint.
What is a partial joint penetration groove weld? - ANSWER-A partial joint penetration
groove weld is defined as one having
joint penetration less than complete
Does CSA Standard W59 allow for the use of intermittent groove welds? - ANSWER-
No. Groove welds must be continuous for the full length of the joint or as otherwise
permitted by the Engineer.
