properly.

b) measuring the weld ability of the
penetrant
c) comparing two section of an
artificially cracked part

fine grinding cracks.
a) Non Water soluble visible dye
penetrant
b) Water washable visible dye
penetrant
c) All Dye penetrant are about
equivalent sensitivity
What information doesnt inspector need
for proper interpretation of penetrant
indication.
a) Previous manufacturing process
performed on the part

d) All of the above
True or False:
A coil shot producers what is generally
considered to be a longitudinal magnetic
field.
Surface defects are more clearly defined
by AC or DC current
True or False:
Discontinuities parallel to the magnetic
field produced the strong indication

True or False:
It is possible to detect the defects by
magnetic particle examination that
cannot be detected by RT
What method is more sensitive for the
detection of sub-surface defects.
AC or DC current
True or False:
When parts are to be welded after
magnetic particle testing, residual
magnetism may attract the filler
material.
This aids in the disposition of weld metal
improving the weld quality.
True or False:
A longitudinal magnetized part retains a
more objectionable residual field than a
circular magnetized part
True or False
Demagnetization is still required when a
part will be subsequently heat treated.
Ture or False:
The detection of sub-surface defects over
deep in weldments is more of a
problem than is the case of surface
defects.
When a magnetic field is induced in a
part with prods spaced 6 inches apart,
the field is considered
a) Solenoid field
b) Distorted circular field
c) Longitudinal Field
d) Yoke filed
True or False: Abrupt changes in
thickness, high amperages and drilled
holes near the test surface are causes of
non relavent indications.
Higher frequency transducers are
generally better suited for
a) Castings
b) Forgings
c) neither
Which transducer provides greater
sensitivity and resolution.
a) Low frequency
b) High Frequency

c) Expensive transuders
True or False:
Ultrasonic is the preferred method for
examination clad plate for lack of
bonding.
What examining materials for planar
flaws oriented parallel to the part
surface, what test method is most often
used?
a) Angle beam
b) Through transmission
c) Straight beam
d) Dual crystal
Compensation for the variation in echo
height related to variations in
discontinuity depth in the test material is
known as
a) Transfer
b) Attenuation
c) Distance amplitude correction
d) Interpretation
True or False:
As transducer diameter decreases, the
beam spread decreases.
True or False:
In general, for a given frequency, shear
waves are more sensitive to small
discontinuities than longitudinal waves.
Low frequency sound waves are not
generally used to test thin materials
because of
a) the repaid attenuation of low
frequency sound
b) in compatible wave lengths
c) Poor near resolution
d) None of the above
True or False:
ASME Sec VIII-Div1 contains RT
acceptance criteria for rounded
indications.
A RT film having wide latitude also has
by definition
a) poor definition
b) low contrast
c) High speed
d) none of the above

True or false:
To make a proper evaluation when
interpreting a radiograph, it is necessary
to know the welding process used to
make the weld
A dark line varying width on a
Radiograph which follows the edge of
the fusion zone of a weld cap is
indicative of
a) Undercutting
b) Incomplete fusion
c) porosity
d) Shrinkage
A Radiograph that shows a narrow dark
line traveling in irregular direction
would generally indicate the presence of
a) Crack
b) slag line
c) Aligned porosity
d) lack of fusion
True or False:
Radiographic film with large grain size
will produce radiographs with better
definition than film with small grain size.
True or False:
Deep scratches in lead screen result in
corresponding dark line on the
radiograph
