Babuitchinmapuddha (Babu for short) took the exam and made notes after These are from his notes after exam
1. Which of the following is NOT considered a rerating? (Definition 3.1.81) Note: Must be a temperature or pressure related change 2. Service change or new piping Corrosion rate rule = 3 month service rule (7.1.2.c) Note: 3 months after the new service is the rule and was the correct answer 3. New service How do you set the Inspection intervals = (7.1.2.a/b/c) Note: Several answers are acceptable here and only one answer on exam is correct Owner user similar service data / owner user experience / published data / or 3 month service rule & UT thickness same as question # 2 4. Nonsense Not enough info Recommend you understand Paras. 5.6.2 & 5.6.3 5. The CML hole size rule Greater than 10 NPS = 3 inch or 75 mm (Definition examination point 3.1.20) 6 -10.

Question on 570 included fluid services in Para. 1.2.1 (Items a thru h apply) Note: a) Raw, intermediate and finished petroleum products thru h??? 23. Question on Evaluation of metal loss in excess of the corrosion allowance Also see Minimum Required Thickness Def. 3.1.51 (Note) Alternately, required thickness can be reassessed using Fitness-For-Service analysis per API 579 Note: The answer is found in Section 7.4.a See API 579 24. Which of the following is Class 3 question? See 6.3.4.4 of API 570 25. On-site hydrocarbons that will slowly vaporize during release Class 2 Note: API Class 2 was the answer Study 6.3.4.3 of API 570 26. Welding repairs (& hot taps) done on piping in-service must be as per API 2201 All repair and welding procedures for on-stream lines shall conform to API 2201.

Question on Examiner & Authorized Piping Inspector definition 3.1.7 An NDE examiner is not required to be an authorized piping inspector. See also 4.3.4 & 4.3.5 28. An unacceptable flaw is called a Defect An imperfection of a type or magnitude exceeding the acceptable criteria. Definitions Damage mechanism (API 570, 3.1.15) & Defect (API 570, 3.1.17) 29. Open Book Problem Injection Point Maximum Thickness Inspection interval Note: API 570 Table 2 Row for Injection Point = 3 years Note a applies! Note: Also be prepared for S/A intervals per API 574 10 years, etc 30. MDMT problem (Normalized A516 Grade material) ASME B31.3 Solution: See Table A-1 (MDMT Column) = A, B, C, D or a temperature value is given Figure 323.2.2.a & NOTES (Normalized = use another curve) See Table 323.2.2.a See Training Module for Impact testing in Section 1 31. Question regarding Injection Point Circuit Upstream & Downstream limit Rules Study API 570 Figure 1 and the Paragraph below it MUST KNOW the 2 rules Upstream & Downstream

32. OPEN BOOK SCENARIO 13 years in service and corroded @ Soil/Air interface (not inspected in 13 years) What do you do? API 570 Table 2 Note b See API 574 Section 7.4.5 and give the correct answer At Table 2 Note b, see API 574, Para. 7.4.5 Excavation is likely and repair of coatings, etc as needed and resealing caulking, etc 33. Service related CB question! Above 900F, 1.25Cr Mo piping will most likely suffer: Note: Creep is the likely answer But be careful Body of knowledge does not give creep as one of the 16 mechanisms. Study those 16 damage mechanisms (Critical factors, Appearance, Insp & Monitoring) as per 5.1.4.3 Tells you what sections to study Also study Description of Damage See the 50 question quiz on the 16 DMs 34.

Alternately, the owner/user may choose to include this within the written material verification procedure. When included in the owner/users written material verification procedure, the date and edition number of the written procedure should be documented in the test record.

36. Simple question about how & why piping systems are classified as Class 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 Answer was consequence of failure See API 570 6.3.1 2nd Paragraph (below) The simplified piping classification scheme in 6.3.4 is based on the consequence of a failure. Note: Section 6.3.4 = Piping Classes Remember API recommends the 4 classes given in 570 API 570 Piping Classification schemes are based upon the: A) Likelihood of failure B) Consequence of failure C) Risk of failure D) None of these

Question on ASME V (RT) regarding Location markers (see Fig. T-275), which are to appear as radiographic images on film, shall be placed on the part, not on exposure holder/cassette. This was an easy OPEN BOOK question ASME V, T-275 First Sentence! How and where must location markers be placed on radiographs? A) On the part B) On the cassette C) On the exposure holder D) None of these 41. Backscatter radiation (Letter B) question: A light image of the letter B appearing on a darker background indicates Radiograph must be rejected for insufficient protection from backscatter 42. PQR coupon 5/8 in. thick (SMAW process, E7010) qualifies a WPS for what thickness range? ASME IX QW-253 Table & QW-403.8 (SMAW essential variable) Table QW-451.1 (3rd row) Answer = 3/16 inch minimum & 2 T maximum 2T = 1.250 inches (or 1 inches) Note: There are ten essential variable listed for SMAW on QW-253 Table Solve each using the same methodology!
