21) Fe Fe +2 + e , here electrons are released at the anode, so it is called
anodic reaction
- -
22) O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e 4 OH , Here electrons are used up at cathode. So it
is called cathodic reaction
Page 1
23) There are two types of corrosion:
1) General (Uniform) Corrosion,
2) Localized (Pitting) Corrosion
24) Code for internal Catthodic Protection is NACE RP 0575, & RP 0388
25) Pure hydrocarbon fluids are non corrosive,. But Oxygen, water steam, H2S,
SO2 are highly corrosive
27) Clean sand alone will not eliminate the need for corrosion protection
28) Corrosion more when pH is less than 5, Corrosion is constant for Ph values
between 5 & 8. Corrosion decreases for pH values greater than 8
pH less than 7 it is acidic , ph = 7 is neutral, pH greater than 7 is
alkaline .
35) Deep impressed current anodes are filled with Carbonaceous Back Fill
40) Tank pad: Material immediately adjutant to the exterior of the tank
41) Water stay at the bottom of the tank due to difference in solubility and
specific gravity

26) Lining is needed if minimum thickness of the tank bottom is less than 2.5 mm
or if it is suspected Corrosion may affect before the next inspection
27) Thin film means epoxy amine & thick film means epoxy
29) Tank bottom lining should cover the entire tank bottom and it should cover
18 to 24 inches in the shell ie Tank bottom lining should extend 18 to 24
inches up the shell of the tank
30) I mil = 25 Micro meter, or 1mm = 40 mil,
31) Breathing of tanks can produce corrosion
32) Corrosion of CS tank bottom can be as high as 2 mm/year
33) Excess flexing of tank bottom can create cracks, although some flexing can
always occur
34) Thickness of lining means dry film thickness only,
35) Thin film lining is for new tanks and tanks having minimal corrosion
Adv: Lower cost, Easier to apply, Easier to remove, MFL will be more accurate
Dis adv: It needs more thickness of bottom plate ie 0.1 inch,
More prone to mechanical damage,
Rough weld surface and weld spatter can produce Holiday
Solvent in thin film lining may go and settle at the bottom and delay the cure
Presence of moisture will cause amine blush,
Eg of thin film lining: Epoxi amine for tem 1660 Deg F to 220 Deg F
37) Factors that affect coating: Temperature, Internals present, service changes
& Construction details

93. A. An IQI is a small strip of material, fabricated of radiographically similar
material to the object being inspected, and having a thickness of
approximately 2% of the object being radiographed. The IQI has three
holes in it. The sizes of these holes are 1T, 2T and 4T where “T” is the
thickness of the IQI. The 2T is designated as the essential hole, i.e. the
hole whose image must appear on the radiograph. IQI thickness and
essential hole size requirements are listed in tables in Section V of the
ASME Code.
The IQI is identified with a number made of lead that is attached to the IQI.
This number indicates the thickness of the IQI in thousandths of an inch.
B Wire type IQI use thin wires to ascertain sensitivity instead of holes. The
ability to see the wire required by the code indicates a quality radiograph.
94. The IQI should be placed the source side of the material being radiographed.
However, where inaccessibility prevents this, the IQI may be placed on the film
side of the material being radiographed provided a lead letter “F” at least as
high as the identification number is placed adjacent to the IQI.

b) Surface and slight sub-surface discontinuities
c) Surface and sub-surface discontinuities
d) Surface and sub-surface discontinuities
96. A densitometer (or step wedge comparison film) shall be used for judging film
density requirements. Film density is a measure of overall darkening of the
radiograph, which is directly related to the sensitivity, definition, and overall
quality of the technique.
97. a) Shims may be used when necessary to produce a radiograph in which the
radiographic density throughout the area of interest is no more than minus 15%
from (lighter than) the radiographic density through the IQI.
98. a) The finished contact surface shall be free from weld splatter and any
roughness that would interfere with free movement of this search unit or impair
the transmission of ultrasonic vibrations.
b) The weld surfaces shall be finished so they cannot mask or be confused with
reflections from defects, and should merge smoothly into the surfaces of the
adjacent base materials.
c) The volume of base material through which the sound will travel in angle
beam examination shall be completely scanned with a straight beam search
unit to detect reflectors which might affect interpretation of angle beam results.
99. Lead foil intensifying screens used in the X-ray examination may be placed
directly in front of the film. The screen provides an intensifying action and in
addition, the back one acts as filter bay preferentially absorbing backscattered
radiation from the specimen thus improving image quality.
100. The two common radiographic sources in industrial use today are X-ray
machines and artificially produced radioactive isotopes of certain metallic
elements.
101. No.
102. The part is first thoroughly cleaned of oil, dirt, etc, then a liquid penetrant is
applied to the surface to be examined and allowed to enter the discontinuities.
All excess penetrant is then removed, the part is dried, and a developer is
applied. The developer functions both as a blotter to absorb penetrant that has
been trapped in discontinuities and as a contrasting background to entance the

visibility of penetrant indications. The dyes in penetrants are either color
contrast (visible under white light) or fluorescent (visible under ultraviolet light).
103. a) The penetrameter should be placed on the source side of the material
being radiographed. However, where inaccessibility prevents this, the
penetrameter may be placed on the film side of the material being radiographed
provided a lead letter “F” at least as high as the identification number is placed
adjacent to the penetrameter.
b) For material other than weld a source side penetrameter shall be placed
in the area of interest.
105. No Location markers that are to appear on the radiographic film should be
placed on the part being examined and not on the cassettes.
