The NEW Visual Inspection Workshop An 8-hour course for CWI exam candidates to review the basic concepts and applications of visual inspection. After a discussion of the limitations and advantages of visual inspection, types of weld data that may be obtained by visual inspection are presented and discussed. Includes the many types of discontinuities encountered during the visual inspection of welds. Common tools used for visual inspection are presented and discussed (a machinist’s scale, dial calipers, micrometers, fillet weld gages, the Palmgren gage, and the V-WAC). Participants will use these gages to make measurements on weld replicas. This will prepare candidates for Part “B” of the exam. A sample weld specification containing acceptance criteria is presented and discussed, after which students use the specification and visual inspection tools to evaluate the weld replicas using a series of specific questions and scenarios.
