Answer the following questions 10s 3 to 6) from Captain Bob's Welding
Consider both the WPS and its supporting POR when auswering the questions.
8. (WPS) In the JOINTS (QW-402) section, the following statement is true;
1. ‘There must be a sketch of the joint configuration to be used in production,
2. Any groove design is allowed in production,
3. The box is propeuly addressed and contains no mistakes
4. Flux dam retaining is permitted
9 (WPS) In the BASE METAL (QW-403) thete is a mistake because the;
Pipe diameter is not addressed
Group number is not addressed and its « supplemental essential variable
Fillet welds are addiessed as ALL.
‘Thete is no mistake; none ofthe above is tue, 1 83 are for information only, number 2 is not
needed for this procedure because no impact tests are required of the weldment
10. (WPS) In the TECHNIQUE (QW-410) should have addiessed the following:
1 Travel speed
2. Method of back gouging
3. Nothing itis pesfect.
4 The length of groove
