ASME B31.3 Exam Questions And
Correct Answers
The requirements of the latest edition of ASME Code B31.3 and any subsequent
addenda:
Are not retroactive and all equipment installed per earlier editions need not be
upgraded.
Clauses in the B31 code are not necessarily numbered consecutively. Such
discontinuities result from:
Following a common outline, insofar as practical for all code sections.
Who has the responsibility of determining which code section is applicable to piping
installations, i.e., B31.1, B31.3 etc?
Owner
Who has the overall responsibility for compliance with ASME B31.3?
Owner
,The intent of ASME B31.3 is to set forth engineering requirements deemed necessary
for ________
Safe design and construction of piping installations.
ASME Code is not intended to apply to piping:
That has been placed in service.
Compatibility of materials with the service and hazards from instability of contained
fluids:
Are not within the scope of ASME B31.3.
ASME B31.3 applies to piping for all fluids except for:
Tubes of fired heaters, plumbing, and storm sewers.
A prep laced filler metal which is completely fused into the root of a welded joint and
becomes part of the weld is called:
A consumable insert.
Define "face of weld".
It is the exposed surface of a weld on the side from which the welding was done.
, A fluid service that is non-flammable, nontoxic, and not damaging to human tissue
and it's gage pressure does not exceed 150 psi and the design temperature is from -20
degrees through 366 degrees F is known as a category _____ fluid.
Category D
A fluid service which has the potential for personnel exposure is judged to be
significant and in which a single exposure to a very small quantity of a toxic fluid,
caused by leakage, can produce serious irreversible harm to persons on breathing or
bodily contact, even when prompt restorative measures are taken is known as a
category ______ fluid.
M
A fillet weld whose size is equal to the thickness of the thinner member joined is
called:
A full fillet weld.
The heating of metal to and holding at a suitable temperature and then cooled at a
suitable rate for such purposes as: reducing hardness, improving machinability,
facilitating cold working, producing a desired microstructure, or obtaining desired
mechanical, physical, or other properties is known as:
Annealing
