A double-block-and-bleed system is considered a complete shutoff.

FALSE

A socket weld is made by joining the ends of two pipes together.

FALSE

Brass is stronger than steel.

FALSE

Bronze alloys contain 90% or more Aluminum.

FALSE

Butt welding is not often used in industrial construction.

FALSE

Corrosion is not a major issue for process plants

FALSE

In a butt weld, one pipe is inserted into a larger fitting and welded.

FALSE

Lead is a strong material at high temperature.

FALSE

Low carbon steel is not a very satisfactory material for most plant applications due to its high price.

FALSE

Nominal pipe sizes are usually the same as their actual inside or outside diameters

FALSE

Nonferrous Alloys contain large amounts of iron.

FALSE

Piping of the same size (e.g., all 4" pipe) has a constant inside diameter.

FALSE

Process equipment is designed exactly for normal operating pressure.

FALSE

Schedule 10 pipe is considered heavy wall pipe.

FALSE

Stainless steel is resistant to rusting but not corrosion.

FALSE

Steels that contain 10% or more of alloying metals are called low-alloy steels.

FALSE

The strength of metals increases as temperature increases.

FALSE

Trepanning is not used to inspect the welding on new storage tanks or similar equipment.

FALSE

XS pipe means "extra small" pipe.

FALSE

"Brass" is a term used to describe a family of alloys of copper and zinc.

TRUE

A 3" schedule 40 pipe will have a different wall thickness than a 4" schedule 40 pipe.

TRUE

A paddle blind is inserted between two flanges, with a gasket on each side, while a figure-eight blind is designed to be installed inside the piping.

TRUE

A thread compound or Teflon tape is used on screwed joints for lubrication and to aid in sealing the joint.

TRUE

Aluminum and silicon bronzes are more resistant to salt water than brass.

TRUE

As operating temperature increases above 650°F, the strength of low-carbon steel decreases, becoming significant between 950°F to 1000°F.

TRUE

Besides affecting strength, temperature has a profound effect on corrosion rates.

TRUE

Blocking in equipment unprotected by relief valves can exceed design conditions and cause failure.

TRUE

Brass and Bronze are from the family of copper alloys.

TRUE

Brass loses significant strength when heated.

TRUE

Brasses are widely used because of their resistance to corrosion from water containing various impurities that are corrosive to steel.

TRUE

Bronzes are from the family of copper alloys.

TRUE

Cathodic protection systems can protect equipment indefinitely as long as sacrificial anodes are replaced and current flow is open

TRUE

Cathodic protection systems can protect equipment indefinitely as long as sacrificial anodes are replaced and current flow is open.

TRUE

Flammable liquid containers can build up static charges as the material is pumped in.

TRUE

Flanges are made in various thicknesses and for various bolt sizes according to the pressure and temperature of the service.

TRUE

In addition to specifying pipe by schedule, pipe is also sometimes specified as STD, XS, or XXS, along with pipe size.

TRUE

Measuring wall thickness through drilled holes, called trepanning, is the most accurate method when transfer calipers cannot be used.

TRUE

Most piping used in process units is carbon steel, because it is fairly economical and has a wide temperature range.

TRUE

Nickel Alloys are used for processes that involve acids and caustics.

TRUE

O.D. = I.D + 2*wall thickness

TRUE

Piping fitting ratings of 150lb., 300lb., and 600lb. are common in chemical plants.

TRUE

Piping of the same size (e.g., all 4" pipe) has a constant outside diameter.

TRUE

Piping with threaded joints is generally much less expensive and easier to install than piping with welded joints.

TRUE

Raised face flanges use a gasket that fits inside the bolts and ring joint flanges use only a metal ring for gasketing

TRUE

Screwed piping is used in sizes up to 2" for handling nonhazardous materials.

TRUE

Screwed piping joints are tapered to provide a tight fit.

TRUE

Small pipes are commonly joined by the use of tapered pipe threads.

TRUE

Socket-welded fittings are usually used in 2" size and smaller; butt-welding is used in all sizes, but particularly in 2" size and larger.

TRUE

Some low alloys (carbon-, moly-, and chrome alloys) are used in high temperature service such as furnace tubes.

TRUE

Stress corrosion cracking and a high coefficient of expansion are two conditions that case stainless steel to deteriorate.

TRUE

The chemical industry has two methods to prevent fire hazards from static electric sparks - bonding and grounding.

TRUE

The materials used in piping construction are chosen to withstand the temperature, pressure, and other properties of the fluids being conveyed

TRUE

The most common composition of stainless steel is referred to as 18-8, and has 18% chromium and 8% nickel

TRUE

The pipe wall thickness increases as the schedule number increases.

TRUE

The weakest part of screwed piping is usually the joints.

TRUE

To secure the strength and oxidation (rusting) resistance of low carbon steel at high temperatures, small amounts of alloying elements are added.

TRUE

Two methods of cathodic protection are using sacrificial anodes and using impressed current anodes.

TRUE

Underground water pipes can function as a grounding device.

TRUE

Visual inspection is the most usual method for inspection.

TRUE

When stainless steel is heated, it expands at a rate approximately 150% of that of steel, which becomes a problem when stainless steel is used in close contact with other metals.

TRUE
