Basic LIII Questions

The document contains a list of 41 questions related to various non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, specifications, and principles, primarily aimed at Level III certification. Topics include thermal neutrons, visual inspection techniques, welding processes, and the use of different NDT methods such as ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle inspection. Additionally, the questions cover mathematical calculations and the properties of materials relevant to NDT practices.

1. Which of the following isotopes produce Thermal Neutrons?


2. In what specification is Test Technique defined? CP-189
3. What influence does a rough surface have on UT inspection? One option was thicker viscous
couplant, effects the sound concentration
4. What is used to assist with visual inspection on threaded tubing? – Profile Gauge
5. What welding process produce a dark/black area on a radiographic film – Options were
Gtaw,PAW,Sub Arc and Ultrasonic Welding
6. What tracer gas used, is a CFC and also known as dichlorodifluoromethane?
7. What NDT method is used to verify bonding of a brazed joint?
8. What is the SI unit in visual testing for radioactive waves – Options were Lux,nm,Something
in radiographic in the formulas that starts with an A, don’t remember the last one.
9. What process is used to restore a steel tube’s ductility after the drawing process?
10. Minimum water tolerance requirement for Lipophilic penetrant?
11. Tracer gas that is used because it is inert and safe to the ozone?
12. Welding process that uses a small inert molecule as a shielding gas?
13. Math question on Geometric Unsharpness.
14. Math question on if the distance is 24inch and the shot took 4 minutes, how long will the
same shot take if the distance was 12” – options were 1,2,4 and 16min
15. How do you increase the sensitivity on a radiographic test
16. Another question was to do with the density on a radiographic test, something that
influence the density…
17. Another question on RT – What is the configuration called when the RT shot is too big for
one screen and multiple screens are put side to side for the shot – one of the options were
tangible something
18. Which of the following can only be detected by MPI – Overlap,Corrosion,Slag and can’t
remember the last option.
19. A NDT method standardization method that uses both artificial and natural discontinuities in
the test specimen – RT,PT,UT or ET.
20. What is the difference between fluorescent and visible magnetic particles – One option was
that Fluorescent particles are compressed to ensure that the fluorescent dye does not
separate from the magnetic particles.

22. What joining process uses a filler metal… above 840?
23. How would you use Eddy Current testing to determine the difference between a 300 and
400 stainless steel? One of the option were hardness, I think there was a conductivity option
as well.

screen or something to 50%, there was a question in there about that.
29. A tank with hazardous chemicals requires inspection on the inside diameter of the weld,
what NDT method would be used?
30. PT Emulsified method is used, but the Dye washes off too quickly, how can this be fixed?
