QUESTIONS FOR PESO INTERVIEW

1. Where the isolation valves located for mobile tankers?


→ At bottom of tanker inside metal box.

2. Draw nozzle connections for mobile tanker.


→ See attached sketch.

3. In one interview, they showed one water bottle and said, pressure inside this bottle is 1.15 kg/sqcm &
capacity is more than 1 KL. Is it pressure vessel?
→ No, because pressure vessel shall be of metal construction.

4. Type of different valves used in LPG installations.


→ Ball Valve, Plug Valve, Gate Valve, NRV, Excess Flow Check Valves, Needle Valves, TSVs, SRVs etc.

5. Under which SMPV (U) Rule you applied for?


→ Rule 18 – Testing of SRVs
→ Rule 19 – Statutory Periodic Testing of Pressure Vessels.
→ Rule 13 (2) – Stage Inspection of newly fabricated Pressure Vessels.

6. Sequence of stages for Pressure Vessel manufacture & inspection.


→ Approve design & drawing.
Material identification.
Welder Qualification.
L’seam, C’seam set ups.
Dish end inspection.
Review of Radiography
Nozzle opening / set up, Review testing of PTC.
Final inspection before SR.
Review SR chart.
Witness hydro test, Hard Stamping.
Issue COC & endorsed.
As built drgs.

7. They will ask for different definitions -


→ Refer Rule 2 of SMPV (U) Rules.

8. Function of EFCV
In normal operations of loading and unloading, the in-line flow is restricted by the pressure drop through the
hose and or pipeline. In the event of a rupture, disconnection, or line break, the pressure will drop, the flow
will surge exceeding the spring load limit, and the valve will close.

9. Do you know about design of Pressure Vessels?


→ Yes
→ Refer a) shell / dished / SRVs sizing & closing flow rate calculations.
b) Different Material Specification as per ASTM & IS Standards.
c) Allowable stress valves of different material.

14. Refer different Test Procedures for


→ NDT
→ Hydro test
→ Stress Relieving
→ Pneumatic Test etc.

15. For U/G and Mounded Vessels PWHT is must.

16. What is acceptance criteria for CP system of ALPG tanks?


→ Cathodic Potential shall be between (-) 850 to (-) 1200 mv as per OISD 150

17. Where SRVs are located for mobile tanker, and type of SRVs?
→ On top of tanker inside Weld Caps.
Type – SRVs having spring at lower side towards vessel.

18. What is the percentage to be considered during SRVs calculation of mounded vessels?
