  • 2. 

    When the weld symbol is placed above the reference line, it shows that a weld is needed only on the ____________ side of the joint.

    • Arrow

    • Other

    Correct Answer
    A. Other
    Explanation
    When the weld symbol is placed above the reference line, it shows that a weld is needed only on the other side of the joint. This means that the weld is not required on the side where the symbol is placed, but it is necessary on the opposite side of the joint. The placement of the symbol above the reference line indicates the specific location where the weld is needed, providing clear instructions to the welder.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    When the weld symbol is placed below the reference line, it shows that a weld is needed only on the ____________ side of the joint.

    • Arrow

    • Other

    Correct Answer
    A. Arrow
    Explanation
    When the weld symbol is placed below the reference line, it shows that a weld is needed only on the side of the joint indicated by the arrow. The arrow is used to indicate the specific location and direction of the weld. Therefore, the correct answer is "Arrow".

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The length of a fillet weld apears to the _______________ of the weld symbol.

    Correct Answer
    Right
    Explanation
    The length of a fillet weld appears to the right of the weld symbol.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A circle at the tangent of the arrow and the reference line means welding to be:

    • In a circle

    • Done with a 'weave'

    • All around

    • All in a round

    Correct Answer
    A. All around
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all around." This is indicated by the circle at the tangent of the arrow and the reference line. The circle symbolizes that the welding should be done continuously around the joint, covering the entire circumference.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A flag at the tangent of the reference line and arrow means____________

    • Flag weld

    • Touchdown weld

    • Filed Weld

    • Field Weld

    Correct Answer
    A. Field Weld
    Explanation
    A flag at the tangent of the reference line and arrow indicates a "Field Weld".

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What does AWS stand for?

    Correct Answer
    American welding society
  • 8. 

    The size of a fillet weld appears to the _______________ of the weld symbol.

    Correct Answer
    Left
    Explanation
    The size of a fillet weld appears to the left of the weld symbol.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which symbol reflects the weld as pictured on a paper copy?

    • A-A

    • B-B

    • C-C

    • D- Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. D- Both B and C
    Explanation
    The question is asking which symbol reflects the weld as pictured on a paper copy. The options are A, B, C, or both B and C. Since the answer is D, it means that both symbols B and C accurately represent the weld as pictured on the paper copy.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What type of weld is called out by the symbol?

    • Single bevel groove

    • Double v-groove

    • Single v-groove

    • Double groovy weld

    Correct Answer
    A. Single v-groove
    Explanation
    The symbol represents a single v-groove weld. This type of weld joint is used to join two pieces of metal at a 90-degree angle. The "V" shape is created by beveling the edges of the two pieces to be joined. This allows for better penetration and fusion of the weld metal, resulting in a stronger joint.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Which symbol reflects the weld with 1/4 above? 

    • A-A

    • B-B

    • C-C

    • D- Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. B-B
    Explanation
    The symbol B-B reflects the weld with 1/4 above.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The symbol placed at the intersection of the arrow and reference line to indicate a weld all around is a __________.

    Correct Answer
    Circle, circle
    Explanation
    In welding symbology, a small circle placed at the junction of the arrow and the reference line signifies that the weld should be continuous around the entire joint. This is important for joints where complete sealing or structural integrity is required, ensuring that the weld encompasses the full circumference of the connection.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    What type of weld is called out?

    • Single bevel groove

    • Double v-groove

    • Single v-groove

    • Double groovy weld

    Correct Answer
    A. Single v-groove
    Explanation
    A single v-groove weld is a type of weld that is called out in this question. This type of weld involves making a V-shaped groove on one side of the joint, and then filling it with weld metal. It is commonly used for butt joints, where two pieces of metal are joined together along their edges. The V-groove helps to provide better penetration and stronger welds.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The experienced welder expertly manipulated the welding torch, ensuring a consistent and _______ bead along the joint.

    Correct Answer
    Uniform, uniform
    Explanation
    In welding, a "bead" refers to the deposit of filler metal that forms the weld. A "uniform" bead indicates that the weld has a consistent size and shape along its entire length, which is a sign of good welding technique and results in a stronger, more reliable joint.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    In shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), the molten metal that forms the weld is primarily supplied by the _______.

    Correct Answer
    Electrode, electrode
    Explanation
    In SMAW, also known as stick welding, the electrode itself melts and becomes part of the weld. This is different from other welding processes like MIG or TIG, where a separate filler wire is used. The electrode in SMAW not only conducts the electrical current but also provides the filler material for the weld joint.
