Welding Inspector Certified Exam: Part A
Questions and Answers 100% Correct
Nondestructive examination - ✔✔Determines the suitability of a material or
compound without compromising its serviceability. Identifies flaws
discontinuities and other imperfections, then determines whether they
exceed the allowable tolerance of a specification. Ultrasonic testing is one
of the most common forms used.
Destructive examination - ✔✔The test specimen is damaged, destroyed, or
otherwise rendered unserviceable. Very useful for determining certain
aspects of steel quality like mechanical properties and strength.
Visual inspection - ✔✔Conducted before during and after welding by
trained and qualified CWI helps identify errors before they become
significant problems. If done consistently and regularly it can identify
problems before they start and generally results an acceptable work.
VT - ✔✔As a CWI performing visual inspection you will need to make sure
the WPS is qualified and applicable to the weldment, and that the welder is
adhering to his requirements through fabrication.

Interpass inspections - ✔✔Checking for cleanliness, slag removal,
sufficient space for weld deposit, and complete fusion will help avoid the
vast majority of discontinuities let me otherwise become a parent doing
subsequent nondestructive testing.
VT steps after welding - ✔✔1) inspect the weld
2) check dimensions
3) check post weld heat treatment
4) Monitor nondestructive testing
VT before welding started - ✔✔1) review application documentation
2) check WPS
3) develop inspection plan
4) check materials
5) observe preparation
Discontinuities - ✔✔An interruption or irregularity in the typical structure of
a material. Cracks, porosity, voids, or slag inclusions are examples of
irregularities in the normal structure of a weldment, but are not necessarily
rejectable.
