CSA W59-18 exam questions with |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
answers
CSA Standard W59 covers the welding requirements for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
what type of steel construction? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔(Cl. 1.1, 1.2) The welding requirements of CSA W59
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
can be applied to carbon and low-alloy steel construction,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
except where other special codes such as those of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
API, ASME, or AWWA govern.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(Cl. 1.4) This Standard is not intended for use with steels
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
having a minimum specified yield strength over 700MPa
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(100,000 psi) |\
What types of structures are covered in CSA Standard
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
W59? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(Cl. 1.1) CSA Standard
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
covers Statically- and cyclically- loaded (Repetitive
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
loading) Structure. Clause 11 deals with provisions that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
are applicable to statically loaded structures only and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Clause 12 deals with provisions that are applicable to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
cyclically-loaded structures only. The provisions of Clause |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
3 to 10 are applicable to all structures.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is the definition of low hydrogen? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔Low hydrogen - A term applied to |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,consumables manufactured to deposit weld metal having |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a specified maximum limit to the diffusible hydrogen
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
content or to a process having inherently low diffusible
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
hydrogen levels. |\
Who is the engineer as described in CSA Standard W59? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Engineer - The professionally |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
qualified person representing the regulatory authority or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the purchaser.
|\
What are the requirements for the certification of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
contractors? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(Cl. 3.1.1) When |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mandated in the contract or in the governing design |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
standard*, all contractors performing work under this |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Standard shall comply with CSA Standard W47.1 for |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
welded fabrications. |\
*Examples: CSA S6 and CSA S16. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Which welding processes are covered in CSA Standard
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
W59? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(Cl. 3.1.2.1) This standard
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
covers the SMAW, SAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW, MCAW,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ESW, EGW, and SW processes.
|\ |\ |\ |\
Does CSA Standard W59 specify requirements for stud
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
welding procedures? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(Cl.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, 3.1.2.2) Yes, Clause 6 and Annex H.4 contain provisions
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for stud welding provisions.
|\ |\ |\
Does CSA Standard W59 contain provisions for pre-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
qualified joints? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(Cl. 3.1.3.1) Yes,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Clause 10 provides joint geometry details that are pre-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
qualified, provided the welding procedures also conform
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to Clauses 4, 5, and 10 of CSA Standard W59. There are
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pre-qualified joints for SMAW, SAW, FCAW, MCAW, (spray |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
transfer mode) GTAW, and GMAW (spray transfer mode
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and pulse transfer mode) processes.
|\ |\ |\ |\
What base metals can be welded under CSA Standard
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
W59? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(Cl. 3.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.2,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
3.2.3, 3.2.4) Clause 3.2.1 states that steel base metal to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
be welded under this Standard shall conform to the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
requirements of the CSA or ATSM Standards listed in |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Clauses 3.2.2, 3.2.3, and 3.2.4 or other recognized
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
specifications of equivalent welding quality as determined |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
by the contractors engineer and approved by the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
engineer.
What Standard specifies the requirements for welding
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
symbols? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(Cl. 3.4) Welding |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
symbols shall be shown in AWS Standard A2.4. Additional
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
conventions developed for CSA Standard are shown in |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Annex D. |\
