rarely reaches the substrate.
Inspection documentation is important because: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Owners use the documentation for a variety of purposes.

✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Checking
It is good practice for the NACE Inspector to have instrument calibration
certificates available: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > At all times.
In a non-convertible coating the role of the primary solvent is to: - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > To control the evaporation rate.
Removal of weld splatter is required: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > When specifically
identified in the owners specification.
Common errors that may produce inaccurate readings when using a Dial Type
Magnetic Pull Off Dry Film Thickness (DFT) gauge include: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer
> Failing to determine the Base Metal Reading (BMR), Rotating the dial too fast
when taking measurements, and Measuring ditty, tacky, or soft films.
