ASQ Certified Quality Inspector Sample Questions:
1. In order to eliminate inspector errors which of the following would be effective?
Response:
A) Templates
B) All of the above
C) Checklists
D) Product redesign
2. Which of the following would be appropriate if very accurate non-contact measurements are required?
Response:
A) Telescoping gage
B) Dial indicator
C) Radius gage
D) Laser scan micrometer
3. What is the tolerance of the combined outlet, static mixer, and feed sections based on the chain dimensioning tolerance method?
Response:

A) +/- 0.040 = sqrt ((0.02)2 + (0.003)2 + (0.02)2)

Response:
A) match gage
B) differential gage
C) multidimension gage
D) venturi gage
5. When testing hardness on a large article, in this case, a half-kilometer long railroad rail, what is/are the best choice(s) of considerations that must be addressed by the inspector?
Response:
A) Identifying a small section of the part where a 'light load' Rockwell method could be used.
B) Using a Vickers microhardness method that measures the area of the indentation.
C) Having a NIST hardness standard test block available for every tenth indentation along the length of the part.
D) Large parts that are not easily supported on an anvil should be clamped into place or properly supported.
