Question

question 71 of 100 - multiple choice

staggered sections of weld beads along a seam are called?

a intermittent weld
b full penetration weld
c fillet weld
d groove weld

Explanation:

Define staggered sections of weld beads

An intermittent weld consists of short, broken sections of weld beads spaced at regular intervals along a joint, rather than one continuous bead.

Analyze the given options

• intermittent weld: A weld where the continuity is broken by recurring unwelded spaces. This can be chain or staggered.
• full penetration weld: A weld that extends completely through the thickness of the joint.
• fillet weld: A weld of approximately triangular cross-section joining two surfaces at right angles.
• groove weld: A weld made in a groove between two members to be joined.

Select the correct option

The definition of staggered sections of weld beads along a seam directly corresponds to an intermittent weld.

Answer:

• (A) intermittent weld (Correct answer)
• (B) full penetration weld
• (C) fillet weld
• (D) groove weld
