What is the default restriction level if not identified by
the specifier in
accordance with SSPC PA 2? -
ANSWER-Level 3.
What are fine cracks in the surface of a coating that rarely
reach the substrate
called? - ANSWER-
Checking.
When should instrument calibration certificates be
available to the NACE
Inspector? - ANSWER-At all
times.
When is removal of weld splatter required? - ANSWER-
When specifically
identified in the owner's
specification.
What is the role of the primary solvent in a non-
convertible coating? -
,ANSWER-To control the
evaporation rate.
What common errors may produce inaccurate readings when
using a Dial-Type Magnetic Pull-Off Dry Film Thickness gauge?
- ANSWER-Failing to determine the base metal reading (BMR),
rotating the dial too fast when taking measurements, taking
measurements too far from the edge of a surface.
When is conventional spray a good choice? - ANSWER-
When high quality
finishes are
required.
Which test uses a syringe? - ANSWER-Bresle patch.
Which element is not necessary for corrosion to occur? -
ANSWER-Reference
Cell.
What do digital hygrometers determine? - ANSWER-
Relative humidity, air
temperature, and dew point
temperature.
What designations would a NACE Inspector assign to the
surface condition
using SSPC Vis 1? - ANSWER-Rust
Grades A-D.
,What are inspector's daily reports used for? - ANSWER-By the
contractor to estimate the amount of work done that day, to
provide continuity between inspectors, to aid in arbitration
between the contractor and client, to help in cases of a coating
failure.
How are silicone coatings typically applied? - ANSWER-In very
thin films.
What does excess moisture during holiday testing
cause? - ANSWER-
Erroneous indications by creating a path across the surface
of the coating.
Where are ASTM Standards applicable? - ANSWER-When

ANSWER-Observe and
report the quality of the work
performed.

When specified.
At which site does corrosion generally occur? - ANSWER-
Anode.
What should inspectors do if they identify issues of non-
conformance? -
ANSWER-Inform both the Contractor and the
inspector's supervisor.
Could referencing SSPC standards instead of ISO ST 3 impact
surface preparation appearance? - ANSWER-No, because there
is no real difference in the standards.
Who must carefully review Safety Data Sheets? - ANSWER-
All personnel
involved in the
job.
What should the NACE Inspector do regarding blast pressure
checks? - ANSWER-Keep doing the checks and consult the
Owner's representative for direction.
What standard should be used if the project specification does
not state specific DFT measurement standards? - ANSWER-A
recognized industry standard like SSPC-PA 2.
