NEW QUESTION 40
____________ areoftennecessary to establish susceptibility ofequipment to stress corrosion cracking.

Literature, expert opinion and experience

Cracking mechanisms

Damage mechanisms

Fluid toxicity and its constituents

NEW QUESTION 41
Risk reduction is typically accomplished using:

mitigation activities

changing fluid characteristics

process control

results of inspection activities

equipment history review

NEW QUESTION 42
What will affect the level of risk mitigation achieved in RBI?

The established frequency of inspection for higher risk equipment

The quality of the inspection data and the analysis or interpretation of that data

Replacement of equipment instead of continuing to inspect it after half-life is attained

Upgrading the metallurgy of equipment to higher alloys which are more corrosion resistant

NEW QUESTION 43
If a qra has been prepared for a process unit, the analysis can borrow extensively from this effort.

Rbi consequence

Rbi likelihood

Rbi probability

NEW QUESTION 44
An RBI assessment of new equipment or a new project may:

yield useful information on potential future risks.

be conducted only after 1000 hours of operation to establish operating and inspection data.

not be useful because there is no inspection history.

be needed in order to define the risk criteria to be used in service.

NEW QUESTION 45
Which of the following codes provide requirements and limitations for implementing RBI programs? (Select all that apply)

API 653

API 573

API 570

API 510

API 578

NEW QUESTION 46
If a very aggressive acid is carried over from a corrosion resistant part of a system into a downstream vessel that is made of carbon steel, the result would be

Rapid corrosion could result in failure in a few hours or days.

General corrosion over a period of time could result in metal loss

No deterioration will take place since carbon steel is resistant to aggressive acid

NEW QUESTION 47
What is a risk driver?

The primary contributor(s) responsible for a significant share of a risk value.

The primary identifier(s) used to assist in the acceptance or mitigation of found damage.

The primary element(s) to find, list, and characterize probability of failure.

The primary element(s) to find, list, and characterize consequence of failure.

NEW QUESTION 48
Which of the following is a step in estimating the consequences of releasing a hazardous material into the surrounding environment?

Estimating the release rate

Identifying the most likely failure mode

Determining the deterioration susceptibility and rate

Identifying active and credible damage mechanisms

NEW QUESTION 49
The type of failure mode that likely to occur due to ssc

Small holes to rupture

Small holes

Cracks

Only rupture

NEW QUESTION 50
Equipment reliability is especially important if leaks can be caused by

Secondary failures, such as loss of utilities

Primary failures such as leak due to severe corrosion

Tertiary failures due to valve gland packing leak

NEW QUESTION 51
Reliability efforts, such as reliability centered maintenance (rcm), can be linked with rbi, resulting in an integrated program to

Reducedowntime in an operating unit

Reduce operating time of a unit

To reduce risk by mitigation activities

NEW QUESTION 52
Who can provide useful input (such as the spectrum of process conditions, injection points etc.) To aid materials specialists in the identification of deterioration mechanisms and rates

Process specialists

Plant operation specialists

Asset integrity experts

Inspection engineers

NEW QUESTION 53
Deterioration susceptibility and rate can be done

By groupingthe same material of construction/similar process/environment

Not possible to group under any circumstances

By random inspection method

NEW QUESTION 54
One of the significant differences between qualitative and semi-quantitative COF analysis for RBI is that the results of a semi-quantitative analysis are usually:

numeric

estimated

probabilistic
