Welding inspection includes which of the following?
ANSWER
1
,Visual and nondestructive examination of the welds, Review of specifications, welding pro-
cedures, and welder qualifications, Review of joint designs and cleaning procedures.
Which of the following tasks are not normally performed by the inspector prior to welding?
ANSWER
Check the appearance and size of welds.
. Who is responsible for the "quality craftsmanship" of weldments?
ANSWER
The welder.
During welding operations, the inspector should:
ANSWER
Confirm welding parameters and techniques are supported by the WPS and WPQ, Complete
physical checks, visual examinations, and in process NDE, Establish a quality control and
quality assurance umbrella with the welding organization.
Following the completion of welding, and before the completed welds are placed in service,
the inspector should:
ANSWER
a. Verify post weld acceptance and that NDE was performed at the selected locations, Verify
that post weld heat treatments and pressure testing were performed, if required, and that
the results were acceptable, Audit the inspection files to identify inaccuracies and incom-
plete information

he/she should:
ANSWER
The defects or nonconformances should be brought to the attention of those responsible or
corrected before the work proceeds further.
