API 510 Exam Questions With Complete Solutions
___________ is the Approval/agreement to perform a specific
activity (e.g. repair) prior to the activity being performed
Correct Answer Authorization
___________ SP0170, Protection of Austenitic Stainless Steels
and Other Austenitic Alloys from Polythionic Acid Stress
Corrosion Cracking During Shutdown of Refinery Equipment
Correct Answer NACE SP0170
_____________ A physical change in any component that has
design implications that affect the pressure-containing capability
of a pressure vessel beyond the scope described in existing data
reports. The following should not be considered alterations: any
comparable or duplicate replacement, the addition of any
reinforced nozzle less than or equal to the size of existing
reinforced nozzles, and the addition of nozzles not requiring
reinforcement. Correct Answer alteration
______________ Standard for Qualification and Certification of
Nondestructive Testing Personnel Correct Answer ASNT CP-
189 2,
_______________Any work not considered an alteration that
removes and replaces a major part of the pressure boundary
other than a nozzle (e.g. replacing part of the shell or replacing a
vessel head). If any of the restorative work results in a change to
the design temperature, minimum allowable temperature
(MAT), or maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP),the
, work shall be considered an alteration and the requirements for
rerating shall be satisfied. Correct Answer Major repair
_____________The work necessary to restore a vessel to a
condition suitable for safe operation at the design conditions. If
any of the restorative work results in a change to the design
temperature, minimum design metal temperature (MDMT), or
MAWP, the work shall be considered an alteration and the
requirements for rerating shall be satisfied. Any welding,
cutting, or grinding operation on a pressure-containing
component not specifically considered an alteration is
considered a repair Correct Answer Repair
___________vessels—a vessel fabricated to a recognized
construction code but has lost its nameplate or stamping.
Correct Answer nonstandard vessels
1.1.2 Intent
The intent of this code is to specify the in-service inspection and
condition-monitoring program that is needed to determine the
____________ of pressure vessels and pressure-relieving
devices Correct Answer Integrity
1.1.3 Limitations
Adoption and use of this inspection code does not permit its use
in conflict with any prevailing ____________________
Correct Answer regulatory requirements.
1.3 Recognized Technical Concepts:
For inspection planning and engineering assessment of in-
service pressure vessels, this inspection code recognizes the
