ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔What are the most important characteristics of a good report? - ✔✔Objective,
Accurate, and Detailed.
✔✔What is the Inspector's primary responsibility and what should the Inspector not do
as it pertains to the specifications. - ✔✔The Inspector's primary responsibility as the
Inspector is to "enforce" the specification. The inspector is NOT to make any changes to
the specification for any reason.
✔✔Industrial and marine coatings are commonly referred to by: - ✔✔Generic resin type
✔✔Oil based coatings applied over alkaline surfaces may result in: - ✔✔Saponification
✔✔Three (3) types of water-blasting include: - ✔✔• Grit blasting with a shroud
• Sand injected water blast
• Slurry blast with grit/water mix
✔✔The NACE/SSPC Waterjetting Standard is: - ✔✔SSPC/VIS 4 and VIS 7 are visual
comparators to be used with the standard.
✔✔In aspects to coating inspection, what are Ultraviolet lights used to detect? -
✔✔Hydrocarbon contaminants, such as OIL AND GREASE
✔✔Define pigment - ✔✔A discrete particulate solid used to impart specific properties to
the coating in the liquid and solid state.
✔✔Define Solvents - ✔✔Solvents are added to liquefy the binder and allow for
application in a productive manner.
✔✔Define volatility - ✔✔Governs evaporation rate (the speed at which the Solvent
leaves the coating film during and after application).
, ✔✔Sacrificial coatings... - ✔✔Coatings that use a metal that is anodic to steel and
corrodes preferentially
✔✔Test for Soluble Salts Contamination - ✔✔Potassium ferricyanide
Bresle Patch
Sleeve Test
Soluble Salt Meters
Conductivity
✔✔Checking - ✔✔Appears as lines or cracks in the coating surface and typically only
appears in the topcoat, cracks rarely go to the substrate.
✔✔Alligatoring - ✔✔Appears where a hard, tough coating is applied over a softer
extensible coating. Some thickly applied coatings can alligator when exposed to sun
light.
