B31.3 closed book study guide Well Annalised
1. The requirements of the latest edition of ASME Code B31.3 and any subse-
quent addenda:: Are not retroactive and all equipment installed per earlier editions need not be upgraded.
2. Clauses in the B31 code are not necessarily numbered consecutively. Such
discontinuities result from:: Following a common outline, insofar as practical for all code sections.
3. Who has the responsibility of determining which code section is applicable
to piping installations, i.e., B31.1, B31.3 etc?: Owner
4. Who has the overall responsibility for compliance with ASME B31.3?: Owner
5. The intent of ASME B31.3 is to set forth engineering requirements deemed
necessary for : Safe design and construction of piping installations.
6. ASME Code is not intended to apply to piping:: That has been placed in service.
7. Compatibility of materials with the service and hazards from instability of
contained fluids:: Are not within the scope of ASME B31.3.
8. ASME B31.3 applies to piping for all fluids except for:: Tubes of fired heaters, plumbing,
and storm sewers.
9. A prep laced filler metal which is completely fused into the root of a welded
joint and becomes part of the weld is called:: A consumable insert.
10. Define "face of weld".: It is the exposed surface of a weld on the side from which the welding was done.
11. A fluid service that is non-flammable, nontoxic, and not damaging to hu-
, man tissue and it's gage pressure does not exceed 150 psi and the design
temperature is from -20 degrees through 366 degrees F is known as a cate-
gory fluid.: Category D
12. A fluid service which has the potential for personnel exposure is judged to
be significant and in which a single exposure to a very small quantity of a toxic
fluid, caused by leakage, can produce serious irreversible harm to persons
on breathing or bodily contact, even when prompt restorative measures are
taken is known as a category fluid.: M
13. A fillet weld whose size is equal to the thickness of the thinner member
joined is called:: A full fillet weld.
14. The heating of metal to and holding at a suitable temperature and then
cooled at a suitable rate for such purposes as: reducing hardness, improving
machinability, facilitating cold working, producing a desired microstructure,
or obtaining desired mechanical, physical, or other properties is known as:: -
Annealing
15. A piping joint that for the purpose of mechanical strength is developed by
threaded, grooved, rolled, flared, or flanged pipe ends, or by bolts, pins, tog-
gles or rings; and the leak resistance is developed by threads and compounds,
gaskets, rolled ends, caulking, or machined and mated surfaces is known as
a:: Mechanical joint
16. The term NPS 6 refers to:: A pipe whose outside diameter is 6.625"
17. A pipe produced by piercing a billet followed by rolling or drawing, or both
is a:: Seamless pipe
18. What is a root opening?: It is the separation between members to be joined by welding, at the root
of the joint.
19. A weld intended primarily to provide joint tightness against leakage in
metallic piping is known as a:: Seal weld
