API 510 Mock Exam - A Questions 1 to 35 are OPEN BOOK and simulate the first half of the actual exam. 1. A vessel is to under go a hydrostatic test after a repair. The vessel's stress allowable atthe test {temperature is 15,000 psi and its stress allowable at its operating temperature is 13,800 psi. The vessel's MAWP at its operational temperature is 125 psi. What will be the required test pressure atthe top of the vessel? 203.8 psi 169.6 psi 176.6 psi 143.7 psi 2. A cylindrical shell contains a welded long joint that is made using a backing strip that remains in place. All of the radiography requirements of UW 12 (a) have been met. For purposes of calculating circumferential stress on the cylinder, what willbe the value of the joint E used in the calculation? 1. 10 2. 85 3. 80 4 90 3. A small exchanger has experienced internal corrosion of its tubes. The tubes are required to withstand an external pressure of 350 psi. The tubes have and O, D. of 2.0 inch and are 6 inches in length with a wall thickness of 025 inch. What would be the approximate Factor A value for this combination of length diameter and thickness of tube is? 1.0056 2. 00055 3. 087 4. 10 4. An additional 4 inch nozzle was added to a pressure vessel and is similar to the one in Fig UW-16.1(i). ‘The minimum thickness of the nozzle is 377 inch and the shell minimum thickness is .750 inch. What is * the decimal value of the throat required of two equal leg size fillet welds for this attachment? 1. 238” 2. 263" 3. 250" 4. .750" 5. A cylindrical shell has a seamless hemispherical head on one end and a seamless ellipsoidal head on the other end. The elliptical head is attached by a type 2 weld meeting the spot radiography requirements of | UW-11(a)(5)(b). The shell has a single longitudinal joint. All category A butt welds are type 1 with full radiography applied. The vessel will require an MAWP of 50 psi . The material of the shell and head is SA-515-Gr. 60. The allowable stress at the operating temperature is 15,000 psi. The heads inside diameter is 10-0". What is the required thickness of the 2 to I ellipsoidal head? 1.250 2 z35) 3. 200 4.1003 08/02 Rev 6 Fast Track Technical - Licensed to ITAC 1API 510 Mock Exam - A 6.

A pressure vessel has been measured to have a minimum wall thickness of 235 inch after 5 years of service, The vessel's original wall thickness was 250. Its minimum allowable wall thickness is .195 inch. How long until the next required inspection per API 510? 1. 10 years 2. S years 3. 6.6 years: 4. 6-1/2 years Answer the following questions about the WPS and PQR (pages 3 to 6) from Captain Bob's Welding, Consider both the WPS and its supporting PQR when answering the questions. 8, (WPS) In the JOINTS (QW-402) section, the following statement is true; “There must be a sketch of the joint configuration tobe used in production. ‘Any groove desiga i allowed in production. ‘The box is properly addressed and contains no mistakes, ‘Flux dam retaining is permitted, aeee 9. (WPS) In the BASE METAL (QW-403) there is a mistake because the; Pipe diameter is not addressed. Group number is not addressed and itis a supplemental essential variable. Fillet welds are addressed as ALL. ‘There is no mistake; none of the above is true, 1 &3 are for information only, number 2 is not needed for this procedure because no impact tests are required of the weldment. 10. (WPS) In the TECHNIQUE (QW-410) should have addressed the following; ‘Travel speed. ‘Method of back gouging. Nothing, it is perfect. ‘The length of groove. 2 08/02 Rev 6 Fast Track Technical ~ Licensed to ITACAPI 510 Mock Exam - A ‘QW-482 SUGGESTED FORMAT FOR WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION (WPS} (See-GW-200.1, Section IX, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code! naw Captain Bob's Welding ov PoP Bye Dae 6525-96 Sspporting POR No.) 372123 eckng (Yee Et acing Meal Tp {eles boar bsting and Trainee _ Retainer if aseded Barat Montara hast ia 'alloved copper oF Brownentic Corer Gerante as required. ‘Shemh, Production Onewingt Wald Symbats or Ween Oucion {Pou tow the gana aranpemant ef the pars 18 be weed Where splible, root souclng ad the ees of wd roe may be sweated, (At the sodon of we Mi, sences eye aached 19 Marea fin in, wa ingested bend suanoe, 04. fr notch toga rock ‘ra, lr mulls proce procedures ee) t "UASE METALS (QW4G2) Pe Na. 0 Pte 2 ro No. Sonciendon 74 wd wate. | Secicaton yee and pc.
