Note: All test results signed off & dated by Egyptian Mech. Testing Group (Babu B. Babu)
Tensile Test specimen # 1 (18.8mm x 18.8mm) Results = 69,900 … Failed = Weld Metal
Tensile Test specimen # 2 (18.6mm x 18.6mm) Results = 70,000 … Failed = Weld Metal
Tensile Test specimen # 3 (18.7mm x 18.7mm) Results = 66,500 … Failed = Base Metal
Tensile Test specimen # 4 (18.8mm x 18.8mm) Results = 66,000 … Failed = Base Metal
Guided Bend (side bend) specimen # 1 results = Pass … 2.9 mm slag in the weld area
Guided Bend (side bend) specimen # 2 results = Pass … 3.0 mm porosity in the weld area
Guided Bend (side bend) specimen # 3 results = Pass … 3.0 mm crack in the weld area

Q & A for API 570 Practice Exam Open Book (100 Questions)
Answer question 13 below (WPS & PQR Review)
PQR Given Information: A-106 Gr. B material, NPS 20, Schedule 120
Additional Given Information

nominal wall thickness from API 574 piping schedules in inches. Weld process = SMAW.
PQR # 123456 was signed and dated by Babu B. Babu and supports WPS # 123456.

14. A piping system designed at 500 psi @ 600°F is to be hydrostatically tested at a test
temp conducted at 100°F or below. Pipe material is A-106 Gr. B Seamless Sch 80 NPS 6.
What is the hydrostatic test pressure (compensating for design to test temp difference)?
A) 750 psig B) 794 psig C) 812 psig D) 867 psig
Answer = D … Reference: ASME B31.3 Table A-1 & Para. 345.4.2 … Use Formula
(API EXAM QUESTIONS WILL NOT GIVE THE INFO ABOVE IN PARENTHESIS)
Solution: Determine both St & S from A-1 Tables … St = 20,000 & S = 17,300 (St ÷ S = 1.156)
1.5 (500 … pressure) (1.156 … Rr = St/S = 1.156) = 867.05 = 867 psig
Para. 345.4.2 (a) requires not less than 1-1/2 times design pressure. 500 x 1.5 = 750
Solution = 867 psi to compensate for the difference between design pressure test conditions and
it must be noted that 867 exceeds the “minimum” of 1.5 times design or 750 psi in this case!!!

A) Essential wire # 4 (0.16 mm) B) Essential wire # 5 (0.20 mm)
C) Essential wire # 6 (0.25 mm) D) None of these are correct
Answer = C … Solution Step # 1: Use API 574 Table, Sch 40 NPS 4 = .237 (6.02mm)
Solution Step # 2: Apply the rule for T-276.2(a) and proceed to Step # 3 … Add reinforcement
Solution Step # 3: Use B31.3, Table 341.3.2 for reinforcement = L = 1/16 in or .062 (1.5mm)
Cat. D service (M value) requires DOUBLE code reinforcement of “L” @ B31.3 T- 341.3.2
Solution Step # 4: Add .237 + .125 = .299 inches … Metric = 6.02 mm + 3 mm = 9.02 mm
Ref: API 574 SS schedules, B31.3 table 341.3.2 value “M”, ASME V, Table T-276, T-233.2
