abrasive blast cleaning and conventional airspray, the coating inspector
should perform a Right Ans - blotter test for the presence of oil and water.

An exposed area of the substrate or previous coat of a conductive material,
often caused by poor application technique is called: Right Ans - Holiday
Checking is: Right Ans - a fine crack in the surface of a coating that rarely
reaches the substrate.
,Inspection documentation is important because: Right Ans - Owners use
the documentation for a variety of purposes.
An Inspectors personal log book should contain: Right Ans - No comments
regarding the application team.
You have just received your NACE CIP Level 1 certification when you are
asked to supervise a team of uncertified field pipeline inspectors. Your FIRST
preferred course of action is to: Right Ans - Review the NACE Attestation
prior to making a decision.
Good record can provide maintenance departments with detailed information
about ALL of the following EXCEPT: Right Ans - How the item was coated.
Non Conformance Reports are completed by the Inspector: Right Ans -
When the Inspector and Contractor deem it to be significant non conforming
item.
The initial steel condition is important to the NACE Inspector because:
Right Ans - The Inspector may have to reject the steel.

catastrophic failure is: Right Ans - Galvanic Corrosion
What is used to determine compressed air cleanliness? Right Ans -
Profilometer
Osmotic blistering is most likely to occur as a result of: Right Ans - Airless
spray application.
When performing tests for oil and grease using an ultra violet light, the NACE
Inspector should be aware that: Right Ans - Synthetic oil or grease may not
be identified.
To achieve consistently accurate results with ALL alt test equipment: Right
Ans - wash your hands before sampling.
When holiday testing is required the Inspector is always required to enforce
what standard? Right Ans - NACE SP 0188
, If the specifier does not identify a restriction level in accordance with SSPC PA
2, the default restriction level is: Right Ans - Level 3
Fine cracks in the surface of a coating that rarely reach the substrate are
called: Right Ans - Checking
It is good practice for the NACE Inspector to have instrument calibration
certificates available: Right Ans - At all times.
In a non convertible coating the role of the primary solvent is to: Right Ans
- To control the evaporation rate.
Removal of weld splatter is required: Right Ans - When specifically
identified in the owners specification.
Common errors that may produce inaccurate readings when using a Dial Type
Magnetic Pull Off Dry Film Thickness(DFT) gauge include: Right Ans -
Failing to determine the Base Metal Reading(BMR),Rotating the dial too fast
when taking measurements, and Measuring ditty, tacky, or soft films.
Conventional spray us good choice when: Right Ans - High quality finishes
are required.
Which of these tests uses a syringe? Right Ans - Bresle Patch
Which one of these elements is not necessary for corrosion to occur: Right
Ans - Reference Cell
Digital hygrometers Right Ans - determine relative humidity, air
temperature,and dew point temperature.
Using SSPC Vis 1 as a guide when performing a visual inspection of a steel
surface prior to surface preparation a NACE Inspector would assign which
designations to the surface condition: Right Ans - Rust Grades A-D
Inspectors daily reports are used: Right Ans - By the contractor to estimate
the mount of work done that day, To provide continuity between inspectors,
