Term
How many welds does API 577 require to be radiographed?
Definition
NONE!
The number of welds RT is established by the Primary Code
Term
The deflection of an arc from its normal path because of magnetic forces. Is the definition for?
Definition
Arc Blow
Term

The distance from the tip of the welding electrode to the adjacent surface of the weld pool.

 Is the definition for?

Definition
Arc length
Term

A fusion weld made without filler metal.

 is the definition for a?

Definition
Autogenous weld
Term

A disconitinuity or discontinuities that by nature or accumulated effect (for example total crack length) render a part or product unable to meet minimum applicable acceptance standards or specifications.The term designates rejectability.

 The term is?

Definition
Defect
Term
An interruption of the typical structure of a material, such as a lack of homogeneity in its mechanical, metallurgical, or physical characteristics. A _________ is not necessatily a defect.
Definition

Definition of a: 

 

Discontinuity

 

A Discontinuity is not necessatily a defect.

Term
Which welding process is most widely used?
Definition
SMAW
Shielded Metal Arc Welding
Term
Arc between covered electrode and weld pool. Heat of Arc comes from tip of a consumable covered electrode. Shielding comes from decomposition of the electrode coating. This description is for what process.
Definition
SMAW
Shielded Metal Arc Welding
Term
Basic functions of the SMAW coating are?
Definition
1. Shielding Gas
2. Prevent excessive Grain Growth
3. Slag blanket to protect weld
4. Sometimes provides alloy elements
Term
Limitations of shielded metal arc welding?
Definition
A. Disposition rates are lower than other processes.
B. Slag usually must be removed at stops and starts, and before depositing a weld bead adjacent to or onto a previous deposited weld bead.
Term
What Variables are required on a WPS?
Definition
Essential, Non-essential, and supplemental essential when toughness testing is required.
Term
What are some advantages for SMAW?
Definition
A. Equipment is relatively simple, inexpensive, and portable.
B. Process can be used in areas limited access.
C. Process is less sensitive to wind and drafts then other welding processes.
D. Process is suitable for most of the commonly used metals and alloys.
Term
Advantages of GTAW are?
Definition
A. Produces high purity welds, generally free from defects.
B. Little post-weld cleaning is required.
C. Allows for excellent control of root pass weld penetration.
D. Can be used with or without filling metal, dependent on the application
Term
Limitations of GTAW are?
Definition
A. Disposition rates are lower than the rates possible with consumable electrode arc welding processes.
B. Has a low tolerance for contaminants on filler or base metals.
C. Difficult to shield the welds zone in drafty environments.
Term
Which process uses a direct stream of discrete drops?
Definition
GMAW- Spray transfer mode
Term
Variables required on a PQR?
Definition
Essential varables, non essential variables are optional.
Term
Who supervises the testing of a PQR coupon?
Definition
Manufacturer or Contractor- the owner of the procedure
Term
What alloy is P 53?
Definition
Titanium
Term
What is the purpose of P-Numbers?
Definition
Reduces the number of welding procedures qualifications required.
Term
What is the basis for F-Numbers?
Definition
Usability characteristics
Term
What is the qualification limits for a welder who qualifies using an electrode from a specific F-Number family?
Definition
Qualified for all electrodes that are the same F-Number. With carbon steel electrodes sometimes also qualifies for other F-Numbers
Term
What is the A-Number?
Definition
Analysis of the chemical composite of the weld.
Term
A change in an WPQ essential variable requires:
Definition
Welder Re-Qualification
