CWI Study Guide
CWI Study Guide
(OP)
Hello everyone, I have been in the welding field for over 20 yrs. I am going to take the AWS CWI API 1104 Exam on 4-4-2008. I have read all I can find on this subject in this fourm and others like it. I have bought the follwing books to study: Certification Manual, Welding Inspection Handbook, Welding Inspection Technology, Part B Examination Book of Specifications, API Standard 1104, and an Algebra book to refresh my math skills. I have been reading and studing this Material for about 2 months. I wished I could find some of the questions that might be on the test or some that are close to the test.I think I should have started studing earlier. I am thinging that I should have gotten the AWS API-M:2006 Study Guide for API Standard 1104 - would this be a good investment?
I would like to know if anyone could tell me some things to study that maybe more important than others.....
Thank you,
Austin

RE: CWI Study Guide
Hows your knowledge on NDE? There are always questions on different methods of NDE that often throw guys for a loop. Especially if they are past welders and don't have much inspection experience.

Thanks

I am sure that it talks about NDE in one of the books you bought.
I found that you need a very broad knowledge to challenge the exams. I have sent four of my inspectors (all well experienced welders and new QC) for the course and exams. One passed all three exams, the three others all failed one of the exams. When AWS sent back the results, they all did poorly on the NDE questions, materials and processing, and weld symbols.

Butchcwioam Code west has a school close to me but has no CWI class at this time. That was the first place that I looked. Thanks for the info on the Practical, is that from the Part B Examination book of specifications?
