Visual Inspection & Book of Specifications

이 자료는 서당님께서 CWI 세미나를 위해서 다년간 준비해 오신 것임을 알려드립니다. 게재된 그림은 다이버가
준비했습니다. 서당님의 허락을 얻어 게재하게 되었고, 서당님의 koinsnet 에 대한 헌신적인 노력에 감사 드립니다.
Examination Book of Specification 은 1998 판을 기준으로 작성된 문제입니다.
본 연습문제는 실제 시험에 가장 가깝게 할 수 있도록 의도했지만 시험에 사용되는 시험편이 없어서, 실제로 측정하여
문제를 풀 수 없는 문항들도 있습니다. 따라서 여러 가지 현실적인 어려움을 감안하여 실제 시험과 다른 점들을
이해하시고 따로 답안을 제출하지는 않고 개인적으로 풀이하시고 이해하시기 바랍니다. 의문 나는 것은 언제든지
질문하시고, CWI 시험 때 실시하는 클라스에 꼭 참석하셔서 강사님께 질문 드리고 해설을 듣도록 해주세요.

Answer Key
For this worksheet refer to the “AWS Examination Book of Specifications.” This is not a working code or
specification. It may be similar to a code or specification with which you are accustomed to using, however
there are subtle differences. The purpose of this part of the CWI examination is to test your ability to interpret
established general visual criteria. As much, all answers in this in this part of the exam are based on this
“AWS Examination Book of Specifications” and not necessary on criteria you normally use place of
employment.
