QUESTIONS

1. Duties of welding inspector -before welding, during welding, and after welding.
This question is very important.
Please see the attachment
2. List of two planner defects and cause.
1. Lack of fusion
 Improper manipulation during welding by welder / welding operator
 Low amperage for welding
 Travel speed of welding is too high.
2. Crack
 Improper cleaning (by contamination on the weld face / weld)
 Lack of preheating (increasing of quenching effect)
 High heat input (increasing overall hardness / thermal stresses on the weld joint).
 High CEV value (Carbon Equivalent Value)
3. List of two volumetric defects and cause.
1. Slag inclusion
 Due to improper cleaning during welding of material.
 Poor joint configuration for welding
 Poor accessibility for cleaning
2. Porosity
 Due to improper shielding of weld metal spool.
 Due moisture in the covered flux coating
 Shielding gas pressure is too high

4. What documents required before attending a repair.
Below listed essential documents are required before carrying out the
repairing:
 Repairing procedure for carrying out excavation / repairing

 Appropriate WPS for repair of welding
 Qualified welder for repairing for the particular welding method / material
 Repair location is mentioned by tracing supported from the radiographic
department
 Repairing memo should available duly approved by senior welding inspector.

QUESTIONS
5. Which NDT Method is best suitable to find out the LACK OF SIDE WALL FUSTION?
1. Ultrasonic Testing - Is the best recommended for detecting the lack of side wall
fusion irrespective of joint material thickness.
2. Radiographic testing – It is recommended < 20mm for finding out lack of side wall
joint, especially tubular section on site.
6. Which DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION method used for welder qualification.

Qualitative tests:
 Guided bend test
 fillet weld fracture test
Quantitative tests:
 Charpy impact test
 Ultimate Tensile test
7. Find out the destructive test used from its UNITS.

 Impact testing – units in kilo joules
 Tensile test – neuton per millimeter square (mm2)
8. How to find out the root defects of small pipe joint (which is not accessible small
diameter)
Methods of finding root defects in small bore pipes:
 Using Boroscope to asses the root defects by remote
 Using nondestructive testing methods radiography, ultrasonic testing
 Using through ball test to find the root penetration of the joint ( fabricated
spools)
 Using camera probe to find the joint is too long for access by boroscope
9. In a weld there is an undercut of 48 mm in-length weld. As per code 50 mm length is

acceptable the weld .what other things to be concerted before accepting the weld.
Factors to be considered before accepting the undercut during inspection:
 Depth of the undercut
 Location of the undercut (whether in external undercut or Root undercut)
 Undercut length by Cumulative or Single length
 Location of undercut again by interpass in the capping on the weld or
in the parent material.
Note:-
In general instead of accepting the undercut, recommended to be grind & merge the
undercut. (Because any notch in the surface or a weld to increase stress concentration and
ultimately affecting fatigue life of the weld)

QUESTIONS
10. What action you are taking if you found any arc strikes or material damage on the job.
ALL ANSWERE IN AVALIABLE IN AWS COURCE BOOK
 Carefully inspect the area of coverage of ark strike

 Select the repairing procedure for repairing of ark strikes
 Do grinding or alternative repair removals process to remove the arc strikes from the
surface of the material
 Carry out Magnetic particle inspection for ferrous materials or Dye penetrant test for
Non ferrous materials.
 Evaluate the Surface for complete removal of the ark strike with / with out cracking
 Measure the thickness by ultrasonic testing of nominal wall thickness of the repaired
area, if reduced do buttering with the correct buttering specification and procedure
(WPS)
 In addition take measurement of Hardness testing in the localized repaired area , if
exceeds proceed for Post weld heat treatment.
