CSWIP Questions

The document discusses welding defects, inspections, and corrective actions. It identifies undercut and lack of side wall fusion as common planar defects. Undercut can occur from high current, travel speed too high, or improper electrode manipulation. Lack of fusion results from improper cleaning, contamination, or incorrect electrode manipulation. Preventive measures include using appropriate current and travel speed, proper cleaning, and good fit-up. For repairs, the welder must have an approved procedure, be qualified, and submit an inspection request and method statement. Common NDT methods for qualification include radiography and destructive tests like tensile strength, bend, and impact tests. Arc strikes must be ground smooth and checked with magnetic particle testing. Inspection reports

1. Name any two planar defects you found on the visual examination of plate?

Ans: Undercut, Lack of Side Wall Fusion. 2. How do these defects occur? Undercut: High Current, Travel Speed too High Long arc wrong manipulation of electrodes Bad fit up

Lack of Fusion: Improper Cleaning Bevel ends oil rust or contamination Wrong manipulation of electrodes Bad fit up 3. Suggest Preventive Measures or how will you avoid it? Undercut: Use of appropriate current Maintain travel speed required by WPS

Lack of Fusion: Proper cleaning of Bevel Proper alignment / good fit up Use right position of Electrode 4. What action will you take for repair? Copy of radiograph inspection Clear tracing of repair area Clearly mark up repair area Check the area for defect removal while excavating repair area by grinding

5. What documents required to repair the weld? Approved welding procedure for repair Qualified welder to carry out repair RT inspection request copy, which specifies detail area and the types of defect extent Method statement to carry out repair 6. What are the common NDT methods adopted for welder qualification test? Radiography testing in lieu of mechanical testing in API 1104 7. If visual inspection is not feasible, how will you ensure that the weld is acceptable? By carrying out the radiography of the weld 8. What are the destructive tests commonly conducted for a welding procedure qualification? Ultimate tensile strength Bend test (root and face) Charpy impact test (nick break test) Hardness test 9. If arc strikes or stay arc is found on a parent metal what will be your course of action? Arc strikes should be ground smooth and magnetic particle testing shall be conducted.

10. Give your course of action if the given sample is accepted/ rejected. If sample is accepted result to be recorded in the approved format duly fill up the relevant inspection report If sample is rejected fill up the inspection report, state the types of defect and peruse location of the defect is to be marked on the sample and a sketch is to be made. Attach the reports and give it to the authorized personnel for further remedial action to be performed. Arc strike: revel poor workmanship Root defect: revels poor workmanship and poor skill level of worker.
