Description
To provide students with understanding and practical
skills in the duties and responsibilities of welding
inspection.
Students who successfully complete this course should have demonstrated that
they:
Can interpret Australian standard codes of practice,
given the application, in relation to: duties,
responsibilities, reporting, recording, and
acceptance inspection.
Can write all reports and basic quality assurance
programs required for welding inspection.
Can apply current non-destructive and destructive
testing techniques to basic weldments and report
results in relation to application codes.

Evidence Guide
Theory Examination 50%
Practical Examination 50%
Students must pass the theory and practical
components.
A three-hour examination paper, consisting of:
Part 1: A one hour objective and short answer
paper covering all objectives 40%
Part 2: A two hour written (essay) paper covering
selected objectives and application
codes 60%
Paper 1 and 2: Scaled to 50% of final assessment.
NOTE:
Candidates are permitted to refer to Australian Codes of Practice, references
and AWRA-AWI technical notes during Paper 2. Such reference material is to be
set by the examiner and communicated to students at least eight weeks prior to
examination.
A three-hour practical examination covering:
Visual inspection of weld samples to code
specifications: AS 1554, AS 1796 and/or AS 1210.
Identification and basic assessment of physical test
specimens to code specification: AS 1210.
Application of dye penetrant inspection to weld
samples.
Application of magnetic particle inspection to weld samples.
Radiography: Report interpretation; defect identification; film density,
sensitivity and acceptability; film and processing defects.
Completion of inspection reports of final
assessment 50%
NOTES TO LECTURERS:
Theory and Practical examinations are to be marked
initially for a 65% pass mark, and the raw score is
to be scaled, using the scaling graph supplied, to
meet divisional requirements.
