La plaque signalétique du navire indique une pression de service maximale admissible de 250 PSIG à
650F, et la température de fonctionnement actuelle est de 600F. Quelle est la 1ère étape pour
augmenter la température de fonctionnement?

A: Effectuer des calculs pour déterminer si l'épaisseur du navire est suffisante

B: Déterminer un nouveau taux de corrosion pour le bateau

C: effectuer une inspection interne du navire

D: Déterminer si le dispositif de décompression conviendra à la nouvelle température

A: Effectuer des calculs pour déterminer si l'épaisseur du navire est suffisante

Un essai hydrostatique est effectué à la suite de la modification d'un vase de 2,5 "d'épaisseur. Pour
minimiser le risque de rupture fragile, la température du métal pendant les essais hydrostatiques
doit être au moins égale à:

A: 10F au-dessus de la température minimale prévue du métal

B: 30F au-dessus de la température minimale prévue du métal

C: 60F

D: 70F

B: 30F au-dessus de la température minimale prévue du métal

Navires isolés efficacement pour empêcher l'entrée d'humidité:

A: le contrôle externe peut être prolongé jusqu'à 10 ans

B: il n'est pas nécessaire de retirer l'isolation pour l'inspection externe

C: nécessite un minimum d'isolant enlevé pour faciliter la corrosion sous l'inspection d'isolant

D: peut substituer un examen des émissions acoustiques au lieu d'un isolant décapant

B: il n'est pas nécessaire de retirer l'isolation pour l'inspection externe

Une fissure dans un navire à la jonction cône-cylindre peut être réparée avec l'approbation de
l'inspecteur agréé API, à condition que:

A: La soudure est entièrement radiographiée

B: La soudure est traitée thermiquement post-soudure

C: La soudure est soumise à un traitement thermique après soudure et à une radiographie complète.

D: Un ingénieur expérimenté en conception d'appareils sous pression est consulté

D: Un ingénieur expérimenté en conception d'appareils sous pression est consulté

Laquelle des affirmations suivantes est correcte en ce qui concerne les qualifications du soudeur
pour une réparation sous pression mineure demandée par un propriétaire / exploitant?

R: Le soudeur doit être qualifié pour le processus applicable par la société effectuant la réparation.

B: Un soudeur qui est un employé du propriétaire / opérateur n'a pas besoin d'être officiellement
qualifié

C: Le soudeur doit être qualifié par un magasin de code ASME et être à jour dans le processus
