Question 1

When documenting a porosity cluster in a weld, a CRI should record which of the following?

Accepted Answer

The area or zone affected and density of the cluster

Answer

Cluster porosity is assessed by the area it occupies and pore density within that zone, as acceptance criteria are typically area-based.

Question 2

What is the correct term for referencing the radiographic film's identification markers in a report?

Accepted Answer

Radiograph identification system

Answer

The radiograph identification system—including job number, weld number, location markers, and date—must be documented to ensure each image is uniquely traceable.

Question 3

A radiographic report notes 'ESG' next to an indication. What does 'ESG' most likely stand for?

Accepted Answer

Elongated Spherical Gas (porosity)

Answer

ESG (Elongated Spherical Gas) or elongated gas porosity is a specific porosity type that must be identified by type in the radiographic report.

Question 4

Which code or standard provides guidance on the minimum information required in a radiographic examination record per ASME Section V?

Accepted Answer

Answer

ASME Section V, Article 2, paragraph T-291 specifies the documentation requirements for radiographic examination records.

Question 5

When a weld repair is made and re-radiographed, how should the re-radiograph be documented relative to the original?

Accepted Answer

With a cross-reference to the original report and original radiograph number

Answer

Re-radiographs must cross-reference the original examination report to maintain traceability of the repair history and acceptance status.
