Acceptance Criteria (Visual Examination)

Each test plate must meet the requirements specified in AWS D1.1 Section 4.22.1:

  • The weld shall be free of cracks
  • All craters shall be filled to the full cross section of the weld
  • The face of the weld shall be flush with the surface of the base metal (undercut shall not exceed 1/32” and weld reinforcement shall not exceed 1/8”)
  • Test plates shall be free from arc strikes

Acceptance Criteria (Mechanical Testing)

Two test specimens will be cut from each test plate. All specimens will then be bent in a bend jig.

For acceptance, the convex surface of the resulting U-shape must not contain any defects exceeding the dimensions specified in AWS D1.1 Section 4.22.5:

  • 1/8” maximum dimension for a single discontinuity
  • The maximum sum for all discontinuities shall be equal to or less than 3/8”

Navy COOL

The Department of Navy (DON) COOL program began as part of a Joint-Service initiative to promote civilian credentialing opportunities for military Service members and it has now been expanded to include civilian personnel.  The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps have collaborated to share data, research, analysis, and best practices so that all Service members can benefit from credentialing opportunities.  All Services have recognized the important role that occupational credentials can play in professionalizing the Force and in enhancing the Service member’s ability to transition to the civilian workforce upon completion of military service.  The information gleaned from the military Service-specific COOL initiatives can also apply to civilian personnel.
