I’m leaning towards "Joint penetration" too, but I wish I could remember more about the definitions we studied.

I feel like "the weld body" could be a possibility, but it doesn't quite match what we covered in class.

I remember something about "complete penetration" being related to how deep the weld goes, but I don't think that's the right term for this question.

I think the answer might be "Joint penetration," but I'm not completely sure. It sounds familiar from the practice questions we did.

Joint penetration, that's got to be the right answer. The question is pretty straightforward, it's just asking about the depth of the weld metal in the joint. B is the way to go.

Ugh, I'm a little confused by the wording on this one. I know the difference between groove angle, joint penetration, and complete penetration, but I'm not sure which one fits this specific description. I'll have to make an educated guess.

Okay, let me see here. The question is asking about the distance the weld metal extends into the joint, excluding the reinforcement. I think that means it's talking about the penetration, so the answer is B.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Maybe I should review my notes on weld terminology again.

I'm not sure, but I think D) Complete penetration could also be a possibility. It sounds like it could be the distance the weld metal extends completely through the joint.

I agree with Sherita. Joint penetration makes sense because it refers to how far the weld metal extends into the joint.

D) Complete penetration. If the weld metal extends all the way through the joint, that's called complete penetration.
