CIP Level 2
1. You are the NACE Coating inspector on a tank lining project and are asked to
perform a high voltage holiday test after coating applicators have completed
their final repairs. After meeting all the confined spaces entry permit you
enter the tank and notice a very strong odor of solvent.: Exit the tank and immediately
report the problem to the nearest safety supervisor.
2. You are working as an inspector in a galvanizing plant for the first time. What
are the some of the hazards you need to be aware of:: Risk of chemical exposure. Risk of
skin. Risk of acid or caustic splashes.
3. You are working as the only in-house NACE level 2 inspector in a shop setting
when an independent party NACE level 3 inspector, representing the owner,
presents you with a copy of the non-conformance report (NCR) he has written
for a NACE2/SSPC SP 10 centrifugal blast which you had previously approved.
Your first preferred course of action is to:: Consult your supervisor.
4. An Inspection and Test Plan is required when:: It is always required
5. The Inspectors' goal at the Pre-Job Conference is to:: Obtain a clear understanding of
the Specification
6. Coating Surveys are legally required:: On commercial marine vessels and offshore platforms
7. Individuals conducting Coating Surveys should?: Always be trained and experienced in the
coating industry
8. The cost of qualified Coating Inspection is normally offset by:: Lower coating life
cycle cost
9. You are a NACE Level II Coating Inspector who has just arrived on a job in
progress where there is no Inspection and Tests Plan (ITP). The first morning
you arrive the job is behind schedule, and you are asked to take Dry film
thickness readings. You FIRST preferred course of action is to:: Use a generally
accepted industry standard and take readings.
10. When conducting inspections, the Inspector should follow which Stan-
dards?: The specified standards
11. You are the NACE Level II inspector where SSPC PA2 has been specified with
an additional requirement that no individual gauge reading shall be below a
certain value. As this is not part of the standard, you should?: Enforce the additional
requirements
1/8
, CIP Level 2
12. The coating applicator has ignored a enface preparation hold point and
applied coating over the surface without a sign off from you as the inspector.
Your FIRST preferred course of action is to:: Require the applicator to remove the coating.
13. In the event of a conflict between the PDS and the specification:: The Specification
prevails
14. From a corrosion perspective, the main distance between Ferrous and
Non-Ferrous metal is:: Iron content
15. You are the NACE coating inspector on a tank lining project where desiccant
dehumidification is being used. Since the first shift of abrasive blasting your
readings have indicated RH below 40%; however, on the second shift of coat-
ing application your readings are indicting 80%. Your FIRST preferred course
of action is:: Advise the coating applicator supervisor of your readings
16. When Environmental enclosures are being used an inspector needs to be
concerned about:: Lighting. Air Changes. Structural integrity.
17. It is always possible to see moisture on a steel substrate:: False
18. When observing design defects, the NACE Inspector should?: Document the
defects and the potential problems that could result.
19. When observing fabrication defect the NACE inspector should: Consult the
specification to determine how they should be treated
20. WJ-1 is always performed using UHWJ at pressures above 210 mPa (30,000
psi). True or False?: True
21. Centrifugal Blast cleaning requires?: Well maintained blast wheels
22. The standards defining surface cleanliness achieved by centrifugal blast
cleaning are?: The same as air blast cleaning
23. You are NAE Level 2 inspector working on a tank lining job where a mobile
centrifugal blast units being used to blast the tank floor toa NACE No. 1/SSPC
SP 5. The contractor has completed his final blast and has called for a hold
point inspection. This is the 1st time you have seen field based centrifugal
blast cleaning. You observed what appears to be staining on the substrate
however the contractor assures you this is normal when using centrifugal
blast units and what you are seeing is what is defined in the standard as an
2/8
