  1. A CWI needs to find the prequalified joint detail for a single-V groove weld made from one side without backing. Which Figure series in AWS D1.1 covers this joint type?

    Answer: Figure 4.1 series

    AWS D1.1 Figure 4.1 series covers prequalified CJP groove weld joint details for various joint configurations including single-V without backing.

  2. In AWS D1.1, what does the designation 'B-U2' in a joint detail designation mean?

    Answer: B indicates butt joint type, U indicates U-groove weld configuration

    AWS D1.1 joint designations use letters to identify joint type (B=butt, C=corner, T=T-joint) and groove shape (U=U-groove, V=V-groove, etc.).

  3. Which section of AWS D1.1 contains the requirements for WPS qualification by testing (as opposed to prequalification)?

    Answer: Section 5

    Section 5 of AWS D1.1 covers the qualification of welding procedures by testing, including required test specimens and acceptance criteria.

  4. A footnote in an AWS D1.1 table states 'See 5.22.1 for exceptions.' How should the CWI handle this footnote?

    Answer: Read the referenced clause to determine if an exception applies to the current situation

    Footnotes are part of the code and must be read; the inspector must determine whether the referenced exception is applicable to the specific situation.

  5. The AWS D1.1 code contains both AWS D1.1 and AWS D1.1M designations. What does the 'M' signify?

    Answer: The code uses SI (metric) units

    The 'M' suffix in AWS standard designations indicates the metric (SI) version of the document, using millimeters, degrees Celsius, and other SI units.

  6. In AWS D1.1, Table 4.2 lists 'Matching Filler Metal Requirements.' What is the practical use of this table?

    Answer: To select filler metals that meet yield strength requirements for the base metal being welded

    Table 4.2 pairs base metal groups with filler metal classifications that provide matching or overmatching mechanical properties for prequalified WPS use.

  7. When AWS D1.1 states a dimension 'as detailed,' what is required of the inspector?

    Answer: Verify the dimension against the approved engineering drawings, not the code

    'As detailed' means the dimension is defined by the approved project drawings, and the inspector must compare actual measurements against those drawings.
