1) A code give the acceptance standard for excess weld metal “h” as h ≤
1mm + 0.1b, max. 5mm, where “b” is the width of the weld cap. For
which of the following situations is the excess weld metal acceptable?
a. b = 15 h = 3.0
c. b = 28 h = 4.0
d. b = 40 h = 5.4
–The depth-to-width ratio of the solidifying weld bead is large (deep &
narrow)
a. Undercut
b. ( answer )
Incompletely filled groove
c. Irregular width
d. Excess penetration
Pls understand that: The Cap on the weld is weld filler that does not
contribute to the load bearing structure of the weld.

5) Which of these statements are true concerning Lamellar tearing?
c. ( answer
Lamellar tearing occurs in the HAZ
)
-Non-metallic inclusions are present as very thin platelets with their principal
planes parallel to plate surface
Two main options are available to control the problem in welded joint liable
to lamellar tearing:
b. Root concavity
c. Buried planar
Root concavity:
Burn Through: a collapse of the weld pool resulting in a hole in the weld
d
Cut out the joint and re-weld
.
Have 3 type of Undercut defect, they have to be measured in both length &
depth. After that compare with specification / tolerance for assessment.
9) On inspecting a completed weld which has Charpy impact
requirements some small areas of undercut have been found. The welder
says he can quickly put this right by depositing a thin narrow bead along
the undercut. In this situation would you?
d. ( answer ) Only allow the welder to cosmetically blend out the undercut
10) Why would visual inspection of the excess weld metal at the bottom
of a cross country pipeline be important?
a. ( answer ) It is the most difficult area to weld
