API 580 Actual Questions and CORRECT
Answers
engineering judgment - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The basis for a qualitative probability of
failure analysis is:
damage mechanisms and inspection effectiveness - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Regardless of
whether a more qualitative or a quantitative analysis is used, the POF is determined by two
main considerations:
materials of construction - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Combinations of process conditions
and _____________________ for each equipment item should be evaluated to identify active
and credible damage mechanisms:
Risk criteria - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Exchange or sharing of information about risk
between the decision maker and other stakeholders. The information may relate to the
existence, nature, form, probability, severity, acceptability, mitigation, or other aspects of risk.
failure mode - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔It is important to link the damage mechanism to
the most likely resulting__________
COF - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔In general, an RBI program will be managed by plant
inspectors or inspection engineers, who will normally manage risk by managing the POF with
inspection and maintenance planning. They will not normally have much ability to modify
the ____________________:
external environment - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The consequence of loss of containment is
generally evaluated as loss of fluid to the____________________:
logic model - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔. A quantitative method involves using a
_____________depicting combinations of events to represent the effects of failure on people,
property, the business and the environment :
accuracy - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Results of a quantitative analysis are usually
__________________:
, precision - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔It is important to stress that the ____________ of the
data should match the complexity of the RBI method used :
accuracy - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔. The data quality has a direct relation to the relative
_________________ of the RBI analysis:
precision - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔It is important to stress that the ____________ of the
data should match the complexity of the RBI method used :
Damage mechanisms - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔__________in the hydrocarbon process
industry are addressed in API 571:
fail - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Failure modes identify how the damaged component
will_______________
corrosion specialist - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The RBI team should consult with a
______________ to define the equipment damage mechanisms:
process - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Identifying trace constituents (ppm) in addition to the
primary constituents in a ____________can be very important as trace constituents can have
a significant affect on the damage mechanisms:
failure mode - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Once a credible damage mechanism(s) has been
identified, the associated _______________ should also be identified:
damage - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔In some cases, damage by one mechanism may
progress to a point at which a different mechanism takes over and begins to dominate the rate
of __________________:
loss of containment - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The probability analysis in an RBI program
is performed to estimate the probability of a specific adverse consequence resulting from a
______________that occurs due to a damage mechanism(s):
