Closed Book 2 Flashcards
Sulfidisation results in
General / local metal loss
Damage mechanism that doesn’t result in surface connected cracking
creep
Minimum pressure test value for vessels re-rated to ASME VIII div 1 prior to the 1999 Addendum =
1.5 X MAWP X (S test / S Design)
Corrected for temperature
In-service preferential weld corrosion found, the inspector should
examine other welds in the vessel
Flanges pumped full of sealant may leak at the bolts causing
caustic cracking
RBI concludes the frequency of an internal / on-stream inspection is 20 years, what must the RBI include
considerations of PRV Problems
when entry is physically impossible, an on-stream inspection may be done instead of an internal inspection
purely at the discretion of the inspector
Welders need to re-qualify if they havent welded in X months
12
Who would need to approve repairs at a crack on the nozzle of a heat exchanger
engineer
who would need to authorisetemporary fillet weld patch repairs for a crack found in the nozzle of a heat exchanger
inspector & engineer
If unable to RT a category A weld in a vessel which was originally RT’d, what must happen
the NDE method must be approved by the PVE & Inspector prior to the repair
Environmental cracking of ferrous materials in our industry hasn’t been cause by
naphthenic acid cracking
Who would you need to consult if necessary to remove deposits / linings for an inspection
corrosion specialist
CDW should not be used if
PWHT is required for process reasons
What best tdescribed the API 510 Philosophy of PSV internals
Performance under particular service conditions
Process vessel is lined with sand/cement with mesh backing, what is the most practical way do find disbonding?
Hammer testing
Toughness is described as
the ability to absorb energy & deform plastically before fracturing
If there has not been RT done on a vessel, assumed joint efficiencies are
0.7 for Type 1
0.65 for Type 2
0.85 for seamless shells, heads & nozzles
When should UT equipment be recalibrated
start & end of each use
When shouldn’t UT equipment be calibrated/recalibrated?
you believe the equipment is faulty
an examination point is
a location at which a replication may be performed
cyclic loads in an air receiver is caused by
Resonance
MAT/MDMT
the lowest permissible metal temperature for a given material at a specified thickness based on its resistance to brittle fracture. It is generally the minimum temperature at which a significant load can be applied to a pressure vessel as defined in the applicable construction code
What should be considered before a flange is repumped (for the second time)
UT of the bolts
Corrosion allowance for a vessel shell is
additional material to allow for metal loss in service
People not directly involved in a pressure test
should stay well clear until ALL pressure is released
Most useful inspection method is
Visual
A welding operator is someone who
operates machine or automatic welding equipment
Low carbon steel fractionation column connected to 300 series SS running at 500F should be checked for
Polythionic SCC
CUI of low carbon steels usually causes
localised corrosion
Required thickness takes into account
pressure, mechanical and structural considerations (wind loading etc)
Beam impact test specimens should be XX Long
2.165” or 55 mm
IOWs should be implemented to
Help create new inspection plans
To ensure that 510 inspection code is being followed, periodic audits should be done on
the owner - operator
Approval of repairs
inspector OR engineer
