A) concave-flush
B) contour
C) flush-contour
D) flush

Accepted Answer

The answer of The ____ symbol may be applied to...

Question 5

Because of the nature of the seam weld, the symbol is not used with a both sides significance.

Accepted Answer

The statement is correct. The seam weld symbol is not used with a both sides significance because it involves a continuous weld along the length of the joint without any specific indication of the weld zone on either side of the joint.

Question 6

The dimension for the length or extent of a seam weld is placed to the ____ of the symbol.
A) bottom
B) top
C) left
D) right

Accepted Answer

The dimension for the length or extent of a seam weld is placed to the right of the symbol.

Question 7

For multiple-joint seam welds, where one or more pieces are inserted between the two outer members, the same symbol and elements are applied to specify the weld as are used for the two-member joints, regardless of the number of pieces inserted.

Accepted Answer

The same symbol and elements are applied to specify the weld for multiple-joint seam welds, regardless of the number of pieces inserted.

Question 8

When the center-to-center spacing (pitch) dimension for intermittent seam welds is to be shown, it is placed to the ____ of the length dimension.
A) bottom
B) top
C) left
D) right

Accepted Answer

The center-to-center spacing (pitch) dimension should be placed to the right of the length dimension so that it is clear and easy to read. This allows the reader to quickly understand the distance between each intermittent seam weld.

Question 9

A tail must be used with the seam weld symbol to indicate the ____________________ reference.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A tail must be used with the...

Question 10

Strength of the seam-weld is in terms of the shear strength of the weld in ____ per linear inch.
A) grams
B) forces
C) pounds
D) newtons

Accepted Answer

The strength of the seam-weld is measured in terms of pounds per linear inch. Grams and newtons are units of weight that are not commonly used in the context of weld strength. Forces is a vague term that could refer to any unit of force, and so does not answer the question definitively.

Question 11

When a dimension is expressed in Newtons, the letter "____________________" is added to the value.

Accepted Answer

The answer of When a dimension is expressed in Newtons,...

Question 12

The flush-contour symbol and postweld finish are applied to the seam-weld symbol when it is centered astride the reference line as a weld between members is indicated.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The flush-contour symbol and postweld finish are...

Question 13

Dimensions are applied on the same side of the reference line as the ____ symbol.
A) weld
B) bond
C) join
D) combine

Accepted Answer

Weld symbols include both a reference line and dimensions, which are both applied on the same side of the reference line. Bond, join, and combine symbols may have dimensions located on either side of the reference line.

Question 14

When an arrow side or other side significance is not intended, the seam-weld symbol is located ____ the reference line.
A) aside
B) astride
C) inside
D) along

Accepted Answer

When the significance of the arrow side or other side is not intended in welding symbols, the seam-weld symbol is located astride the reference line. This means it is positioned so that it straddles the reference line, indicating that the weld is to be applied without preference to either side of the joint.

Question 15

The seam-weld symbol may only have an arrow side significance.

Accepted Answer

The seam-weld symbol can have significance on both sides of the arrow, indicating which side of the joint the weld should be applied on.

Question 16

When an intermittent seam weld is made parallel to the joint or axis of the weld, a detailed drawing must be used and reference made to it in the tail of the arrow.

Accepted Answer

Intermittent seam welds parallel to the joint or axis do not necessarily require a detailed drawing to be referenced in the tail of the arrow; basic welding symbols can often convey the necessary information.

Question 17

When the symbol is shown astride the reference line, it indicates the weld is located ____ the members.
A) between
B) above
C) below
D) beside

Accepted Answer

When a weld symbol is shown astride the reference line, it indicates that the weld is located between the members being joined.

Question 18

A(n) ____________________ weld is a continuous weld that may consist of a single weld or a series of overlapping spot welds.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A(n) ____________________ weld is a continuous weld...

Question 19

A ____ weld is a continuous weld made on or between overlapping members of a joint.
A) butt
B) joint
C) positive
D) seam

Accepted Answer

A seam weld is made on or between overlapping members of a joint and is continuous.

Question 20

A welding symbol specifying the length and pitch of a seam weld without reference to a detail drawing signifies the length and pitch are measured ____________________ to the axis of the joint to be welded.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A welding symbol specifying the length and...
