(N/A)

Weld width and height:

Uniform width and thickness throughout the entire length of each weld.

Excellent

Bead is uniform width all along the length of each welld. Has a smooth appearance
Good

Bead maintains width and length. Shows some small blemishes along the weld
Fair

Not a uniform thickness through out the weld. Thickness goes to extremes
Undeveloped

Weld is cut off in places, not uniform along the weld. Shows bare spots
Total Points
Appearance

Smooth with uniform dense ripples, doesn’t show the bead traveling to fast or slow

Excellent

Weld shows a constant speed and uniformity the entire length
Good

Weld shows a constant speed with some blemishes that are minimal
Fair

Weld shows definite areas of speeding up and slowing down. Ripples tend to be coarse
Undeveloped

Weld has been done to fast or to slow. Weld is not complete
Total Points
Face of bead:

Convex, free of voids and high spots, shows uniformity throughout the bead

Excellent

Has a nice rounded look. Is not overly high, or low. Bead covers a wide area of each weld.
Good

Bead is well rounded, mostly uniform over the length of the weld. Shows some high spots and low spots
Fair

Bead shows many high and low area's. Total lack of uniformity throughout the weld
Undeveloped

Weld does not blend into one single bead.
Total Points
Edge of bead

Good fusion, no overlapping or undercutting

Excellent

Sides and edges are smooth blending into each weld. Undercutting is kept to a minimum, Weld does not float on surface
Good

Moderately smooth blending. Undercutting and float are present. Stength of the weld is still strong
Fair

Float and undercut are very apartent. Weld lacks strength and flow
Undeveloped

Metal is burned through. Weld has no connection to metal,
Total Points
Beginning and ending full size

Crater well filled

Slag is easily removed, and doesn't effect strength of weld.
Good

Slag comes off pretty easily. When the weld is cleaned off slag reamains in very small pockets
Fair

Slag is hard to get off, deep pockets reamain in the weld. When cleaned the weld lacks metal strength
Undeveloped

Weld is not complete. Slag is present in large quantities. Weld stength is poor
Total Points
Penetration

Complete without burn through

Excellent

Weld penetrates deep into the metal and adds strength and fusion to the edges and depth.
Good

Weld pentetrates deep but does not re surface through the bottom of a jointed welds
