ASME B31.3 PROCESS PIPING CODE EXAM WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS 100% VERIFIED 2026-2027!!
The requirements of the latest edition of ASME Code B31.3 and any subsequent
addenda: - ANSWER Are not retroactive and all equipment installed per earlier
editions need not be upgraded.
Clauses in the B31 code are not necessarily numbered consecutively. Such
discontinuities result from: - ANSWER Following a common outline, insofar as
practical for all code sections.
Who has the responsibility of determining which code section is applicable to
piping installations, i.e., B31.1, B31.3 etc? - ANSWER Owner
Who has the overall responsibility for compliance with ASME B31.3? - ANSWER
Owner
The intent of ASME B31.3 is to set forth engineering requirements deemed
necessary for ________ - ANSWER Safe design and construction of piping
installations.
ASME Code is not intended to apply to piping: - ANSWER That has been placed in
service.
Compatibility of materials with the service and hazards from instability of
contained fluids: - ANSWER Are not within the scope of ASME B31.3.
ASME B31.3 applies to piping for all fluids except for: - ANSWER Tubes of fired
heaters, plumbing, and storm sewers.
A prep laced filler metal which is completely fused into the root of a welded joint
and becomes part of the weld is called: - ANSWER A consumable insert.
Define "face of weld". - ANSWER It is the exposed surface of a weld on the side
from which the welding was done.
A fluid service that is non-flammable, nontoxic, and not damaging to human
tissue and it's gage pressure does not exceed 150 psi and the design temperature
is from -20 degrees through 366 degrees F is known as a category _____ fluid. -
ANSWER D
A fluid service which has the potential for personnel exposure is judged to be
significant and in which a single exposure to a very small quantity of a toxic fluid,
caused by leakage, can produce serious irreversible harm to persons on
, breathing or bodily contact, even when prompt restorative measures are taken is
known as a category ______ fluid. - ANSWER M
A fillet weld whose size is equal to the thickness of the thinner member joined is
called: - ANSWER A full fillet weld.
The heating of metal to and holding at a suitable temperature and then cooled at a
suitable rate for such purposes as: reducing hardness, improving machinability,
facilitating cold working, producing a desired microstructure, or obtaining
desired mechanical, physical, or other properties is known as: - ANSWER
Annealing
A piping joint that for the purpose of mechanical strength is developed by
threaded, grooved, rolled, flared, or flanged pipe ends, or by bolts, pins, toggles
or rings; and the leak resistance is developed by threads and compounds,
gaskets, rolled ends, caulking, or machined and mated surfaces is known as a: -
ANSWER Mechanical joint
The term NPS 6 refers to: - ANSWER A pipe whose outside diameter is 6.625"
A pipe produced by piercing a billet followed by rolling or drawing, or both is a: -
ANSWER Seamless pipe
What is a root opening? - ANSWER It is the separation between members to be
joined by welding, at the root of the joint.
A weld intended primarily to provide joint tightness against leakage in metallic
piping is known as a: - ANSWER Seal weld
A weld made to hold parts of weld meant in proper alignment until the final welds
are made is known as a: - ANSWER Tack weld
The junction between the face of the weld and the base metal is known as: -
ANSWER Toe of the weld
The pressure in a piping system that is the pressure at the most severe condition
of coincident internal or external pressure and temperature (minimum or
maximum) expected during service ( except for allowances for occasional
variations of pressure or temperature, or both, above operating levels which are
characteristics of certain services) is known as: - ANSWER Design pressure
Piping not protected by a pressure relieving device, or that can be isolated from a
pressure relieving device, shall be designed for at least the: - ANSWER Highest
pressure that can be developed.
