CSST EXAM NEWEST ACTUAL EXAM WITH 190 DETAILED
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
It provided: insulation properties, strength and durability from weathering, made
spray on products easier to apply, and does not conduct electricity. - Why was
asbestos added to construction materials ?
Chrysotile : Serpentine , Amosite and Crocidolites : amphiboles. - What are the
three types of asbestos and their associated species?
white , long , curly , hollow - What is the predominant color and structure of
Chrysotile asbestos?
brown / tan ; long and straight - What is the predominant color and structure of

blue ; long and straight - What is the predominant color and structure of
Crocidolite?
A sprayed on troweled on or otherwise applied to structural surfaces EX: acoustic /
decorative ceilings, fire proofing, textured paints and plasters. - What is the
definition of a Surfacing material ?
applied to pipes, fittings, tanks, other structural, components etc. , to prevent heat
loss or gain. EX: pipe insulation, elbow mud, block insulation, air cell, asbestos paper
wrap, preformed halves, magnesium silica, etc - what is the definition of Thermal
Systems Insulation?
material that is not TSI or surfacing but applied to structural components. - what is
the definition of Miscellaneous products:
Friable asbestos will crumble , pulverize or otherwise release dust by applying hand
pressure. - Define Friable vs non friable.
OSHA - because tools that are used by workers can easily make non friable
materials friable - What agency does not use the term friable ? why?
