ASME SECTION 9 EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS (100% VERIFIED) |AGRADE
What is a welding procedure specification? - ✓✓ ANS - a written document that
provides direction to the welder for making production welds in accordance with the
code requirements. (QW-100.1)
The purpose for qualification of a WPS ? - ✓✓ ANS - to determine that the weldment
proposed for construction is capable of providing the required properties for its
intended application. QW-100.1
In performance qualification, what is the basic criterion established for welder
qualification? - ✓✓ ANS - QW-100.2 defines the basic criterion established for welder
qualification is to determine the welders ability to deposit sound weld metal. The basic
criterion to establish for welding qualification is to determine the welding operators
mechanical ability to operate the welding equipment.
What is a welding procedure specification? - ✓✓ ANS - a written document that

ANS - 1F
Which of the following test is performed to determine the ultimate strength of groove
weld joints? - ✓✓ ANS - Tension test (QW-141.1)
What may be substituted for mechanical testing for groove weld performance
qualifications prove the ability of welding operators to make sound welds. - ✓✓ ANS -
Radiographic examinations and ultrasonic examination may be substituted. (QW-143)
What minimum thickness may require multiple reduced section plate tension test
specimens for WPS Qualification's? - ✓✓ ANS - When test coupons are over one inch
25mm thick multiple tension test specimens me be taken at each location according to
the rules of QW-151.1 for plate QW-151.2 for pipe and qw-151.3 for turned Specimens.
QW-151.1(b)
As part of a welding procedure qualification, a tensile test is performed on SA-333 grade

specimen was 0.550 in. 70,100 psi . what was the width of the tensile test specimen? -
✓✓ ANS - 0.998in ? (QW-152, QW-462.1)
As part of a welding procedure qualification, a tensile test performed on SA-335 grade
P1 pipe. The test specimen was 0.75" wide and 0.75 in thick. The specimen broke in the
base metal outside of the weld and weld interface what is the minimum acceptable
tensile strength for the WPS qualifications. - ✓✓ ANS - SA-335 grade P1 55ksi 0.95x55
ksi = 52.25 Ksi (QW-152)
