CSST Exam Q&A ALREADY PASSED
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 Amosite
asbestos ?
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?
Chrysotile. - =Primary type of asbestos used in the U.S ?
fire doors, fume hoods, felt under roofs or siding, amosite sheeting, kiln bricks and cement, lab
equipment, fire safety and equipment, auditorium curtains, gaskets, vibration joints, etc. - =List
three building materials / locations where ACM is likely to be found
