Welding Vocab 2

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

6. The union of diverse things into one body or form or group






7. Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of a chemical substance is a level to which it is believed a worker can be exposed day after day for a working lifetime without adverse health effects.






8. These are areas where your hands can become trapped or mashed between two objects






9. A permit system for Hot Work is required by the State Fire Prevention Code and OSHA






10. Steel whose characteristics are determined by the amount of carbon it contains






11. A metal joint formed by softening with heat and fusing or hammering together






12. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH); develops TLVs and BEIs as guidelines to assist in the control of health hazards
