allowance of 0.125 in (round to closet 0..001 in)
a) 0.674 in

The owner/user shall maintain appropriate permanent progressive records of
each piping system covered by API 570. What information shall these records
contain?
a) piping system service
b) welding procedure classifications
c) documents necessary to record the name of the companies performing the
testing
d)All of the above Right Ans - A
, For a GMAW-S PQR with back purge of a groove welded pipe test coupon
0.375 in. thickness, P-No.3 to P-No 3 base metal, with 250 F preheat, what is
the thickness range of base metal that can be qualified?
a) 0.188-0.375 in
b) 0.063-0.413 in
c) 0.063-0.750 in
d) 0.188-0.750 in Right Ans - B
For existing piping systems, how shall corrosion rates be calculated?
a) on either a short term or long term basis
b) on either a short term or a long term basis as selected be the authorized
inspector
c) on wither a short term or long term basis as selected be the piping engineer
d) on either a short term or a long term basis, whichever is the longest
Right Ans - A
During a SMAW Procedure qualification, if the WPS lists a minimum preheat
of 250 F and the test coupon was welded with a 149F minimum preheat, what
would be the qualified preheat temperature if all other tests passed?
a) 149F minimum
b) 250F minimum
c) none, since preheat is essential variable and the PQR would not support the
WPS
d) 249F Right Ans - C
What is the maximum allowable flattening of a pipe bend to be used for
internal pressure?
a) <3% of nominal outside diameter
b)<5% of nominal outside diameter
c) <8% of nominal outside diameter

What are the criteria ion determining whether auxiliary SBP will need some
form of inspection?
a) potential for CUI
