NACE CIP 1 CBT Exam (Quizzes and Study Questions)

NACE CIP 1 CBT Exam (Quizzes and Study Questions) All corrosion of iron at normal ambient conditions is - ANS an electrochemical process The cathode of a corrosion cell - ANS has an opposite electrical polarity to the anode Based on the galvanic series presented in the NACE CIP Level 1 Manual, which three can be used effectively as galvanic anodes for carbon steel? - ANS Zinc, aluminum, magnesium A corrosion inhibitor is a substance that, when added to an environment - ANS decreases the rate of corrosion A decrease in temperature will generally cause the corrosion rate to - ANS decrease The electrolyte is the solution that carries (conducts) - ANS the anion, and the cations While oxidation occurs at the anode, reduction occurs at the cathode - ANS true The four elements of a corrosion cell are anode, the cathode, the electrode, and the metallic pathway - ANS False The anode is the - ANS part of the metal that corrodes General corrosion is described as - ANS uniform loss of thickness over the exposed surface In order to reach consensus and to resolve conflict on the job, the NACE Inspector's preferred course of action is to - ANS actively listen and endeavor to understand the postions of others. A proper coating specification should contain information regarding - ANS surface preparation standards, safety, locations to be coated According to the NACE attestation, it's OK to accept a gift from a contractor as long as the gift is below the value identified in your company policy. - ANS false If an inspector finds discrepancies between the specification and the coating manufacturers technical data sheet, the preferred coarse of action is to - ANS seek written clarification from the specifier All of the following are generally included within inspection reports EXCEPT - ANS cost information Inspectors reports provide sufficient detail permitting the owner to evaluate - ANS contractor's performance, inspector's performance, job progress, work interruptions When applying coatings, instruction regarding appropriate types of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) will always be found within the - ANS material safety data sheet (MSDS) or safety data sheet (SDS) Material inventory report should contain all of the following EXCEPT - ANS overall cost of materials Safety enforcement is one of the primary responsibilities of the coating inspector - ANS false If the relative humidity is too high, solvent entrapment within the coating film may occur. - ANS true The dew point is the - ANS temperature at which moisture condenses on a surface. Steel surface temperature reading should be taken - ANS at the actual work locations The coatings inspector must calibrate the magnetic surface thermometer at the job site. - ANS False If solvent is trapped in a coating film it may - ANS cause problems with the curing of the film. Electronic Surface Contact Thermometers - ANS do not require stabilization prior to use MOST coatings in the industrial and marine field are inorganic coatings? - ANS False The predominant pigment in sacrificial coating is - ANS zinc The vehicle of a coating consists of - ANS solvent, binder, and liquid additivess All of the following dissolve within the coating EXCEPT - ANS pigments Which coating type slows the penetration of oxygen, water, and soluble salts to form electrolyte at the coating/metal surface? - ANS barrier coatings Mud cracking of an inorganic zinc-rich (IOZ) primer can be caused by - ANS applying the coating too thick All of the following are commonly used as primers for steel structures EXCEPT - ANS vinyl esters Convertible coatings cure by - ANS a variety of polymerization mechanisms Water-borne emulsions (latex) cure by a process known as - ANS coalescence.
