  • A. Austenitic
  • B. Cathodic
  • C. Ferritic
  • D. Anodic

Answer: C


NEW QUESTION # 48

NEW QUESTION # 49
_________ is the main concern during start-up, shutdown and/or hydro testing for equipment/piping operating at elevated temperatures. This event can also occur in an auto refrigeration event in units processing light hydrocarbons.

  • A. Stress fracture
  • B. Carburization

Answer: D


NEW QUESTION # 50
Ammonium chloride corrosion is the general or localized corrosion, often pitting, normally occurring under ammonium chloride or amine salt deposits. All commonly used materials are susceptible to ammonium chloride corrosion. A small amount of _________ can lead to very aggressive corrosion.

  • A. Water
  • B. Amine
  • C. Salt
  • D. Ammonium chloride

Answer: A


NEW QUESTION # 51
Boiler water condensate corrosion is caused primarily by:

  • A. High pH from water treatment problems
  • B. Carbon dioxide and oxygen
  • C. Sodium sulfites or hydrazines
  • D. Dissolved iron oxides

Answer: B

Explanation:
According to API RP 571, in the section on Boiler Water Condensate Corrosion:
"The major contributors to condensate corrosion are dissolved CO# and O#. Carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid in the presence of water, lowering pH and causing generalized corrosion."
"Oxygen causes pitting and localized corrosion unless chemically treated." Thus, option B (Carbon dioxide and oxygen) is the primary root cause and the correct answer.
