ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
Practical Test
Prior to starting your shipfitter test, you will be given a 6" vertical single pass fillet weld test to ensure that you are capable of welding dogs and strong backs properly.
This will be a timed test. You will be given two (2) hours to complete this exercise.
You are required to prepare a 3⁄8" plate insert as if you were fitting the insert on an actual vessel. You will be assigned a lay-out table and you will have to perform all the necessary fitting procedures to fit your insert to the opening in the insert jig.
You will be required to take measurements for radius and plate lay-out. You are not allowed to place your insert against the jig and trace or mark on the insert. You are not allowed to use hand crafted tools or other unmeasurable devices such as curved welding rods, hard hat rim, grinding disk or cut out templates, etc. to make the radius lay-out.
You are required to wash a bevel and finish grinding your insert to provide a 30 degree (30°ree;) bevel with a 1⁄8" gap (approximately the thickness of a 1⁄8" welding rod). You cannot grind or cut a 30 degree (30°ree;) bevel on your plate. You are required to maintain a 1⁄8" gap around the entire circumference of your insert including the radius corners. Strong backs, dogs and wedges will be provided.
You are required to provide your own ship fitters tools including a welding stinger to weld your dogs and strong backs in place for this test. However a torch and oxygen gauge along with soapstone and 7018 1⁄8" rods for you to tack your attachments to the insert will be provided for your use. After test is complete you will be required to remove strong backs and dogs by means of wash burn or grinding your tacks. DO NOT KNOCK ATTACHMENTS OFF BY USE OF A HAMMER.
