According to ASTM D 4417 Method B 2014 when taking measurements using a profile gauge,
at each location you should make? - ANS-10 readings per location, recording the maximum
value. Determine mean (average) for all maximum valises the reported profile.
According to NACE No.4/SSPC SP7, mill scale, rust, and paint are considered highly adherent if
they cannot be removed by? - ANS-Lifting with a dull putty knife.
According to NACE SP0188, the wetted sponge is moved at a maximum rate of? - ANS-1 linear
foot per second (30cm)
According to SSPC PA 2 a spot measurement it: - ANS-The average of gauge readings taken in
a 4cm (1.5inch) circle.
According to the NACE attestation, when is it OK to accept a gift from a contractor? -
ANS-Never acceptable.
Adding an incorrect solvent to a coating may cause? - ANS-Non drying and non curing.
After a cold night, you find that the epoxy amine midcoast applied the day before has blushed.
The optimum (best) resolution when amine blush is found is to? - ANS-Consult the coating
manufacture.
, Amine blush is likely to occur with which type of coating? - ANS-Epoxy
An exposed area of the substrate or previous coat of a conductive material, often caused by
poor application technique is called: - ANS-Holiday
An inspector should change position when: - ANS-The inspector is convinced by verifiable facts.
An Inspectors personal log book should contain: - ANS-No comments regarding the application
team.
Approximately 75% of premature coating failures are caused by? - ANS-Inadequate or improper
surface preparation.
As a NACE Coating Inspector your responsibility with respect to safety is to: - ANS-Act in
accordance with the site safety requirements and set an example.
As an inspector headed to the joist for the first time, where would you always find instruction
regarding appropriate types of Personal Protective Equipment(PPE). - ANS-Safety Data
Sheet(SDS, previously called MSDS
As in Inspector on a bride painting project, prior to abrasive blasting,which blasting safety items
would you expect to see? - ANS-Deadman valve, Connections wired/clipped and Supplied air
hood.

rust remaining on less than 5% of the unit area. Which standard has been achieved? -
ANS-NACE No. 2/SSPC SP 10
ASTM Standards are applicable: - ANS-When specified.
Based on the galvanic series presented in the NACE CIP Level 1 Manual, which three materials

magnesium.
Check abrasive blast pressure close to the: - ANS-Blast Nozzle
Check abrasive blast pressure with a: - ANS-Needle Pressure Gauge
Checking is: - ANS-a fine crack in the surface of a coating that rarely reaches the substrate.

Corrosion generally occurs at which of the following sites: - ANS-Anode
Corrosion occurring uniformly across a surface is called? - ANS-General Corrosion
Daily reports are important because: - ANS-Inspectors rarely change on a project, management
uses them to make personal decisions and the information aids communication with
supervisors.
Daily reports or weekly reports should be written in? - ANS-Pen
Dew point is the temperature at which - ANS-condensation occurs.
