1) When preparing to inspect a piping system inspection personnel should? -
ANSWER Briefly review the history of the individual piping system
before any of the inspections required by API 570. API 570 5.3.5
2) As regards dead legs in piping circuits, what is recommended to be done by
API 570 whenever possible? - ANSWER Consideration should be given
to removing dead legs that serve no further purpose. API 570 5.3.2
3) When is it necessary to reevaluate the frequency of inspection for an

reviewed and adjusted as necessary after each inspection or significant
change in operating conditions. API 570 6.3
4) What is the 4th consideration when selecting TML's? - ANSWER TML's
at intermediate locations along the longer straight piping within the
injection point circuit may be required. API 570 5.3.1
5) When the inspector suspects or is advised that specific circuits may be
susceptible to environmental cracking; the inspector should schedule
supplemental inspections. What types of inspections may this include? -
, ANSWER Radiography, Wet Fluorescent Magnetic Particle, and/or
Ultrasonic Examinations. API 570 5.3.7
6) Supplemental inspection for piping systems is sometimes required. Which
of the following may be considered supplements to normal inspection
techniques? - ANSWER Periodic use of Radiography and/or

to the same requirements as primary process piping. API 570 6.6.1
8) When is API 570 inspection code not permitted to be applied to a piping
system? - ANSWER As a substitute for the original construction
requirements or if in conflict with regulatory requirements. API 570 1.1.3
9) Which of the following service fluids will justify rating a piping system class

,12) Inspection for piping weld quality is normally accomplished as a part of the

of internal inspection. When preferential corrosion in noted what is the
appropriate action? - ANSWER Additional welds in the same circuit or system
should be examined for corrosion. API 570 5.10

insulation damage, the follow up examinations should include NDE testing and
insulation removal of; - ANSWER At least 75% of all damaged areas. API 570
6.4 Table 6-2
The selection of TML's within injection point circuits are established at (4) basic
locations, (3) of which are: 1-TML's on appropriate fittings within the injection
circuit. 2-TML's on the pipe wall at the location of expected pipe wall
impingement of injected fluid. 3-Establish TML's at both the upstream and
downstream limits of the injection point circuit.
14) What is the 4th consideration when selecting TML's? - ANSWER TML's at
intermediate locations along the longer straight piping within the injection point
circuit may be required. API 570 5.3.1

verify that the buried piping; - ANSWER has good insulation from the
surrounding earth and a protective potential throughout it length. API 570 9.2.2
What are the requirements of materials to be used in the welded repair of a
piping system? - ANSWER The materials used in making repairs or alterations
shall be of known weldable quality, shall conform to the applicable code, and shall
be compatible with the original material. API 570 8.2.4
