✅ PART 1 — FULL ANSWER KEY (FOR ALL DEFINED QUESTIONS)

 

🔴 SECTION 1: CALCULATIONS

Q1 CR = (16 − 12) / 4 = 1 mm/year
✔ Thickness loss per year

 

 

Q2 RL = (12 − 9) / 0.5 = 6 years
✔ Always subtract minimum thickness

 

 

Q3 Interval = ½ RL = 5 years
✔ Subject to code limits

 

 

Q4

CR = (20 − 18) / 2 = 1 mm/year

 

 

Q5 RL = (10 − 7) / 0.3 = 10 years

 

 

Q6 👉 RL becomes half
✔ Because CR doubled

 

 

Q7 👉 Immediate action required
✔ At minimum thickness = no safe life

 

 

Q8 RL = 2 / 0.25 = 8 years

 

 

Q9 Interval = 3 years
✔ (½ of 6)

 

 

Q10 👉 8 mm
✔ Always use minimum thickness

 

 

 

🔴 SECTION 2: CONCEPTUAL

Q11 → C (Verify further)

✔ Visual ≠ integrity

 

 

Q12 → C (No conclusion)

✔ No data ≠ safe

 

 

Q13 → C (Ongoing degradation)

✔ Corrosion still active

 

 

Q14 → C (Verify and reassess)

✔ Repair must be evaluated

 

 

Q15 → C (High priority)

✔ High consequence = priority

 

 

 

🔴 SECTION 3: SCENARIO

Q16 → C (Reassess)

✔ Trend matters more than snapshot

 

 

Q17 → C (Verify)

✔ Never trust vendor blindly

 

 

Q18 → C (Investigate)

✔ Resolve conflicting data

 

 

Q19 → C (Reassess)

✔ Any change → update inspection plan

 

 

Q20 → C (Minimum thickness)

✔ Worst-case governs

 

 

 

 

 

🧠 CORE PATTERN YOU SHOULD NOTICE

Almost ALL correct answers follow:

✔ Reassess
✔ Verify
✔ Use worst-case data
✔ Apply conservative logic
