Part C: Practical (Visual Inspection & Interpretation)
Task 1: Visually inspect two welded plates. Identify and mark any visible surface defects.
Task 2: Measure the weld leg length and throat size using a fillet weld gauge. Record your readings.
Task 3: Interpret the given WPS and check if the welding performed follows the specified
parameters.
Task 4: Review a welder qualification test record (WPQ) and determine its validity.
Task 5: Read the attached welding drawing and identify the weld symbols and their requirements.
