Read the first 6 AWS Welder Qualification & Procedure Testing flashcards as text

  1. Passing a 3G (vertical) groove weld qualification test under AWS D1.1 qualifies a welder for which positions?

    Answer: Flat, horizontal, and vertical

    A 3G vertical groove weld qualification under AWS D1.1 qualifies the welder for flat, horizontal, and vertical positions.

  2. What does the AWS filler metal classification E7018 indicate?

    Answer: E=Electrode, 70=70 ksi tensile, 1=all-position, 8=low-hydrogen iron powder coating

    AWS E7018 means: E=electrode, 70=70 ksi minimum tensile strength, 1=all-position, 8=low-hydrogen iron powder coating with DC+ or AC current.

  3. What does the 'F-number' designate in AWS filler metal classification?

    Answer: The filler metal group for welder qualification purposes

    F-numbers group filler metals by usability characteristics; qualifying with one F-number group covers all lower-numbered groups.

  4. Under AWS D1.1, the minimum base metal thickness generally covered by prequalified SMAW WPS provisions is:

    Answer: 1/8 inch

    AWS D1.1 prequalified WPS provisions generally apply to base metal 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick and greater for SMAW.

  5. A 'nonessential variable' in a WPS is one that:

    Answer: Can be changed without requalifying the procedure

    Nonessential variables do not significantly affect weld mechanical properties and may be changed without requalifying the WPS.

  6. The AWS 'A-number' classification system for filler metals designates:

    Answer: The weld metal chemical composition for procedure qualification

    A-numbers classify the chemical composition of deposited weld metal and are used to group filler metals for procedure qualification purposes.
