AWS CWI EXAM questions and answers
graded A+ latest update
API 1104 - correct answer ✔✔The API standard, Welding of Pipelines and Related
Facilities. This standard is often used in construction of cross-country pipelines
ASME - correct answer ✔✔American Society of Mechanical Engineers
ASNT - correct answer ✔✔American Society of Nondestructive Testing
AWS - correct answer ✔✔American Welding Society. Has 9 codes and many
standards.
AWS A3.0 - correct answer ✔✔The AWS Standard Welding Terms and Definitions
AWS B1.10 - correct answer ✔✔The AWS guide for the Nondestructive
Examination of welds
AWS B1.11 - correct answer ✔✔The AWS guide for the Visual Examination of
Welds
AWS B5.11 - correct answer ✔✔The AWS specification for the Qualification of
Radiographic Interpreters
,AWS D1.1 - correct answer ✔✔The AWS Structural Welding Code-Steel.
AWS D1.5 - correct answer ✔✔The AWS Bride Welding Code used in the U.S. for
the construction of bridges
AWS D15.1 - correct answer ✔✔The AWS Railroad Welding Specification-Cars and
Locomotives. This specification covers welding of railroad cars and locomotives.
CAWI - correct answer ✔✔Certified Associate Welding Inspector
CWI - correct answer ✔✔Certified Welding Inspector
KASH - correct answer ✔✔An acronym for Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and Habits.
The basic tools of a welding inspector.
NDE - correct answer ✔✔Nondestructive examination.
NDI - correct answer ✔✔Nondestructive Inspection
NDT - correct answer ✔✔Nondestructive Testing
QC1 - correct answer ✔✔The AWS Standard for AWS Certification of Welding
Inspectors. Defines the requirements and program for the AWS to certify welding
inspectors.
,SCWI - correct answer ✔✔Senior Certified Welding Inspector
SNT-TC-1A - correct answer ✔✔The ASNT Recommended Practice, Personnel
Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing, outlines the certification
program for NDT technicians.
Actual Throat - correct answer ✔✔The shortest distance between the weld root
and the face of a fillet weld
Back Weld - correct answer ✔✔A weld made at the back of a single groove
welded joint after the completion of the groove weld.
Backing - correct answer ✔✔A material or device placed against the back side of
the joint or at both sides of a weld in ESW and electrogas welding, to support and
retain molten weld metal. The material may be partially fused or remain infused
during welding and may be either metal or nonmetal.
Backing Weld - correct answer ✔✔Backing in the form of a weld, made before the
primary weld.
Backstep Sequence - correct answer ✔✔A longitudinal sequence in which weld
passes are made in the direction opposite to the progression of welding.
Bevel - correct answer ✔✔An angular edge shape.
, Bevel Angle - correct answer ✔✔The angle between the bevel of a joint member
and a plane perpendicular to the surface of the member. This dimension equals
one half of the groove or included angle when the edges of both members are
prepared at the same angle. When only one member is prepared at an angle, this
dimension is still indicated in the same position on the welding symbol for groove
angle, but equals the total degree of preparation of the groove.
Bevel Groove Weld - correct answer ✔✔A type of groove weld in which the
mating members of the joint have one single-bevel or double-bevel edge and one
square edge preparation.
Block Sequence - correct answer ✔✔A combined longitudinal and cross sectional
sequence for a continuous multiple pass weld in which separated increments are
completely or partially welded before intervening increments are welded.
Boxing - correct answer ✔✔The continuation of a fillet weld around a corner of a
member as an extension of the principle weld
Buildup - correct answer ✔✔A surfacing variation in which surfacing material is
deposited to achieve the required dimensions.
Butt Joint - correct answer ✔✔A joint between 2 members aligned approximately
in the same plane.
Buttering - correct answer ✔✔A surfacing variation that deposits surfacing metal
on one or more surfaces to provide metallurgically compatible weld metal for the
subsequent completion of the weld.
