thanks

The certification manual for welding inspectors is available on the aws website.

i have it but need sample questions on the d1.1 code exam i cant seem to navigate the d1.1 quick enough.

thanks

willbergj-

AWS sells a book (CCRM:2006) titled Code Clinic, it's a study guide specifically for D1.1 2006. It has sample questions for each of the relavent sections of the code book. I wish I had this prior to attending the seminar, because it would have given me a better understanding of what the test questions were like.

yes i have the code clinic manual.  i am just not real confident.  i quess read read read  the d1.1 is the key
thanks

I use the index for navigation. It sound like you need more time to get familiar with the layout of the code. I don't think anyone will give you test questions, sample or otherwise. Try the search function in this forum, this topic has been gone over many times in the past.

MAKE YOUR OWN QUESTIONS, BE SURE TO MAKE UP AN ANSWER KEY, MAKE LOTS OF THEM SO YOU CANT POSSIBLY MEMORIZE THEM ALL, HAVE THE WIFE OR SOMEONE OPEN THE BOOK READ A LITTLE BIT AND FOMULATE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

here's a D1.1 question:  Is a  AWS CWI required for visual inspection of weld metal and workmanship issues when work is condcuted under D1.1 code?

State either 'yes' or 'no' and show paragraphs to support answers.

Here's another D1.1 question:  FCAW Process using Prequal joint detail BTC-P10-GF.  Q.: Inspector is called out to look at this joint prior to welding.  The inspector measures the root opening and finds the opening is 3/16".  Is this an acceptable root opening for the  joint per D1.1.

State either 'yes' or 'no' and show paragraphs to support answers.

I would agree with Hogan, use the index for easy navigation.  Read the question, determine a key word and look it up in the index.  That is what I did on my first exam, then after many years of using D1.5 I learned which chapters had the information that I was looking for.

this could be fun we all should make up questions find the answers and see how we all interprit code.(like a stump game)

thanks for the help

I agree. This could be a very good idea. It would definetly sharpen the skills of those who visit this site as a minimum. Though I believe it should not be limited to D1.1. I would also say, it's very likely to help answer questions from those who visit.

Gerald can a CWI give the test to a person and certify the mif they pass or is going to the desiganted facility the only way?
Parent - By CWI555 (*****) Date 10-12-2008 02:22
To be a CWI you have to take it through AWS. The other option is to get a VT cert through ASNT.

Here is one that I made long ago. It may even have some "bad questions" in it.  I am open to correction !

D1.1 Specific- Not actual test questions but may get you looking in the right place. I may not even be sure of some of the answers !

1) Can E6010 Downhill be used for fabrication in accordance with AWS D1.1 for structural steel?

2) Can a Prequalified WPS be prepared for welding CJP grooves from one side without backing for T, Y, K connections?

3) What is the maximum weave width allowed for SMAW for a vertical weld?

4) Is voltage a required variable for SMAW welding?

5) When welding fillet welds in two opposing planes, should the weld be wrapped around the corners?

6) If a welder qualifies with GMAW-S is he qualified to weld with FCAW-S.

7) Can a welder who qualifed on a CJP groove weld in accordance with AWS D1.1 weld on a fillet weld attached to a 2" diameter pipe in the same position?

8) True or false. 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G are designations of positions to be welded in production.

9) What chapter in the code addresses prequalified WPS,

10) What chapter in the code addresses qualification of welders and procedures by testing.

11) What chapter addresses production welding requirements.

12) Does AWS D1.1 prohibit a CWI from inspecting and accepting welds.

General Welding

1) Name 5 types of weld joints

2) Which process uses a consumable electrode and guide tube.  SAW, FCAW, ESW.

3) What process has greater sensitivity to detect rounded discontinuities open to the surface in carbon steel? MT, PT, RT, UT

4) Slag trapped in a weld will show up on a radiograph because - 1) Metal is missing where the slag is located 2) The slag casts a "shadow" on the film. 3) Slag absorbs radiation and causes darker areas on the film.

5) What inspection method would be most likely to detect laminations in plate ?  UT-Straight Beam, UT Angle Beam, MT, PT, none of the above.

6) What process cannot be used for overhead groove welds. GMAW, FCAW, SMAW, SAW.

And I am sure there are others. Remember that you will never get actual code questions online anywhere. But any welding related questions may help you learn whare to find the answers. And if nothing else, make you know more.

i sure appreciate this guys

thanks

willbergj, ask and ye shall receive.

After Geralds post I am almost embarrassed to add a ?

I'm tired so only two from me.
1.A welder is qualified on an overhead plate, full penetration groove test. Can he weld a 2F pipe joint?

2. What is the surface roughness acceptability for a cut edge on 5" thick material?
Parent - - By mountainman (***) Date 09-25-2008 19:25
when are you gonna post the answers? i can't wait to see how i did ! just kidding, those are some great sample questions. thanks for taking the time.

Don't know if it is still there or not, but Gerald used to have a sample welding quiz on his site.

Nice job Gerald. :-)

Don't know if these guys are getting soft or what, a year ago when I asked about sample questions I was told to quit trying to cheat or something along them lines! :)
