Drawings, joints and Prep for Welding
A part made from carbon steel has been flame cut and the edge
preparation for welding requires grinding. Manual grinding with an
abrasive grinding disk is to be used. An acceptable abrasive grit size for
intermediate grinding and blending of coarse grit lines would be:
A) 100 - 150.
B) 50 - 80.
C) 24 - 40.
D) 180 - 240.
- Correct Answer - B
One reason for following the rule of "minimum weld metal" is to:
A) reduce joint preparation time.
B) increase the heat input.
C) reduce stresses and distortion.
D) prequalfy the joints - Correct Answer - C
, The air carbon arc gouging process has been specified to preform back-
gouging on a complete penetration joint to be welded from both sides.
The equipment required to perform this work includes:
A) oxy-fuel equipment, a carbon and graphite copper clad electrode, and
a compressed air line delivering up to 690 KPa (100 psi).
B) a plasma arc cutting machine, set up with a gouging tip, and a
compressed air line delivering up to 690 KPa (100 psi).
C) a shielded metal arc welding machine, a carbon and graphite copper
clad electrode, and a compressed air line delivering up to 690 KPa (100
psi).
D) a shielded metal arc welding machine, a carbon and graphic copper
clad electrode, and a compressed air line delivering up to 345 KPa (50
psi). - Correct Answer - C
Compared to flame cutting of steels, shears are:
A) slow, generate no fumes, and produce no heat effects on the steel.
B) faster, generate no fumes, and produce no heat effects on the steel.
C) slow, require a more skilled operator ,and generate more fumes.
D) faster, generate flying debris, and produce no heat effects on the
steel. - Correct Answer - B
The welding positions required to weld a pipe fixed at a 45-degree
incline are: A) flat, vertical, and overhead.
