API Exam Questions With Complete Solutions
ACFM Correct Answers The alternating current field
measurement (ACFM) method is an electromagnetic inspection
technique which can be
used to detect and size surface breaking (or in some cases near
surface) defects in both magnetic and non-magnetic
materials.
actual throat Correct Answers The shortest distance between
the weld root and the face of a fillet weld.
air carbon arc cutting
CAC-A Correct Answers A carbon arc cutting process
variation that removes molten metal with a jet of air.

The energy supplied by the welding arc to the work piece. Heat
input is calculated as follows:
, heat input = (V × i × 60) / (1000 × v) in kJ/in., where V =
voltage, i = amperage, v = weld travel speed (in./min).
arc blow Correct Answers The deflection of an arc from its
normal path because of magnetic forces.
arc length Correct Answers The distance from the tip of the
welding electrode to the adjacent surface of the weld pool.
arc strike Correct Answers A discontinuity resulting from an
arc, consisting of any localized remelted metal, heat-affected
metal, or change in the
surface profile of any metal object.
arc welding
AW Correct Answers A group of welding processes that
produces coalescence of work pieces by heating them with an
arc. The processes
are used with or without the application of pressure and with or
without filler metal.
autogenous weld Correct Answers A fusion weld made
without filler metal.
back-gouging Correct Answers The removal of weld metal
and base metal from the weld root side of a welded joint to
facilitate complete fusion and
