CWB testing is a little different. We do a 6" weld plate. 3/4" of the start of the plate and end of plate are disregarded. However going up the plate coupon 1 and 3 are root bend coupons and coupon 2 In the very middle is a face bend but it's required you do a start & stop in the middle so your restarts are also tested.

@Welddotcom 12 күн бұрын

Gotta do one of those in the future for sure 👍

@luisestevez4854 17 күн бұрын

Qiestion, with a 1/4" gap or 3/16" between plates how come you dont weld the two plates to the backing plate when you do the root pass? And if you do, how do you remove the backing plate after you cut the two strips for the bending test? I thought the backing plate was just to secure the two plates for welding but then it stayed after capping and even there when you cut it in the machine. Excuse my ignorance.

@Welddotcom 15 күн бұрын

it is most defiantly welded solid. all 3 members become 1 in the root pass. the backing strap acts as a bridge between the two so you can weld on it with ease compared to an open root. you can remove the strap for bend testing with a band saw like jason did or even arc gouge it off. hell if you got the time you can grind the whole thing off. In the field a backing strap will not be removed after welding.

@Neemification 17 күн бұрын

With backing strip, how can you check root penetration?

@Welddotcom 15 күн бұрын

During the bend test. After you remove the strap, even before prep youll be able to see a line or not, that says you got the penetration. All 3 members should become 1 in the weld zone. You cant see the back side of the root during the test, however you can see some dark blemishes on the steel, darker the mark, more pen youre getting in that strap.

What age do I need to be to start this certification test. And how much experience is needed before I was to start this

@Kaizen_2k 19 күн бұрын

"Candidates ages 13-17 are permitted to take AWS Certification exams with the consent of their parent or legal guardian. Candidates must be at least 13 years old at the time of scheduling an exam." No experience is technically needed because this is just a test anyway, its up to you if you want to take it or not.

Correct, for that one specific cert. if the job requires the same test with 7018, thats a different cert. Youll have to look up Jasons classes, and as an added comment, the place that teaches you, cannot certify you.

There are a couple of ways you can do that, you can grind it or use an oxyacetylene torch with a rivet cutter tip to remove most of the material

What do you mean +1/4"? A half inch gap would have been way easier than the tests I've taken. 1/4 is just a little too small to do two root passes

@Welddotcom 19 күн бұрын

That’s why we did one root pass with this test.

@barryjones7025 16 күн бұрын

Just remember them certs dont mean nothing. Boss will just look at them and be like ok.... i don't care how many certs you have. You need to pass all our made up tests to work on the actual product which will be sink or swim. Most places give you 2 or 3 tries. Ut tests are common. Bend test is cheapest other than visual inspection. Xray little more pricey but depends what you'll be tested on depending on the type of work your gonna be up against. Some places you can use grinders, you should at least be able to if you need to do some cleaning but wire wheel could work. Cover passes are the toughest 1/8 inch reinforcement is all your aloud. Any mire more than that, you might be grinding that out and redoing the cover or they say you failed all because cover pass was over the tolerance.

@Welddotcom 15 күн бұрын

youre right, Welding Certs are typically give and take. by that i mean you Get a cert when you get the job and they pull them when you leave. Almost every job requires a weld test to a WPS wether its AWS or not, likely youll have to test wether you carried the exact cert or not. It could however get you further in line on the application process and even in some cases may grant you to weld and skip the test. Hell some jobs (smaller shops) dont even test to any procedure. They maybe really excited to find an applicant with the cert that pertains to their work. But like you said.. its all circumstantial
