(9) While testing a signal-V butt weld, using a 45 search unit, a high amputated
reflector is detected from one side of the weld in the first leg, and is calculated to
be at a depth of one-half of weldment thickness. Testing from the other side of the
weld, a reflector calculated to be in the same location is detected in the second
leg, with only slightly diminished amplitude, when amplitude is corrected for
distance losses. Which type of discontinuity is this reflector most likely to be?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Vertical crack.
Slag line.
Inadequate root penetration.
Incomplete sidewall fusion.

A 10-foot long turbine shaft is to be inspected from one end with 0 degree
longitudinal for radial, circumferential fatigue cracks in an area between 90 and
110 in. from the inspection end. The available instrument screen can display a
maximum of 80 in. How should the operator proceed?

A single Vee, butt weld in a 3 in. plate is being examined using a 60-degree shear
wave. An indication on the CRT appears at a sound path distance of 9 in. At the
same time the exit point of the transducer is 7.8 in. from the centerline of the weld.
This suggests the reflector could be__________.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(12).
1.5 in.
1.0 in.
2.0 in.
2.25 in.
2.50 in
(13). Under the conditions above, but with the indication at a 6 in. sound path distance
and with the exit point 5.2 in from the weld centerline, another strong indication is
received indicating a probable reflector in the __________ the weld.

Under the conditions above, but with the indication at a sound path distance of 9
in. and with the exit point 8.1 in. from the weld centerline, the reflector lies in a
plane that is ________ in. from the center of the weld.

During angle beam inspection of a flush ground single V-groove butt weld, a
discontinuity echo signal can be maintained as the transducer is orbited 360 with
the sound beam directed at a fixed point on the weld axis. However, the echo
signal is rapidly lost as the transducer is moved parallel to the weld axis, with the
beam directed perpendicular to the weld axis. The echo is most likely to
represent:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Crack.
Inadequate root penetration.
Lack of sidewall fusion.
Porosity.
Good Luck
