Example open-book answers
Question 1. B31.3: minimum design temperatures

B31.3 graph 323.2.1, as this is a Category D uid. Note 1 of the
table says that any carbon steel can be used down to 29 8C
(ANS) (as long as its a Category D uid).
Question 2. B31.3: Barlow equation

API 570 7.2 and using the simple Barlow equation P = 2SE t/D
for the MAWP calculations,
E = 1 for seamless, wall thickness t for a 20 in std pipe (API 574)
= 0.375 in, OD (D) of pipe = 20 in, P = 2 20 000 0.375/20
= 750 psi (ANS).
Question 3. Flange test pressures

B16.5 table 1A and table 2 show that A350 LF2 material is table
1-1. At 250 8C, a Cl 1500 ange has a maximum working
pressure of 209.7 bar = 3041.2 psi (ANS).
Question 4. Degradation mechanisms
API 574 section 10.2.1.5.2: suffers graphitization above 800 8F

(ANS).
Question 5.
B31.3: wall thickness equations
B31.3 section 304.1.2 equation 3(a). Using t = PD/[2(SE+PY)]

in equation 3(a), note that for a 10 in NB pipe, the OD is
10.75 in, not 10 in; S = 18.9 ksi for API 5L at 260 8C (500 8F), Y
= 0.4 for ferritic steel (table 304.1.1), E = 0.85 for ERW pipe
from table 302.3.4, t = (348 10.75)/{2 [(18 900 0.85)
+(348 0.4)]} = 0.115 in = 2.93 mm + 2 mm rounded up
= 5 mm (ANS).
Question 6. B31.3: design stress

From the other materials section of B31.3, 302.3.2 (d), the
design stress shall not exceed:
. one-third of the minimum UTS at room temperature (ST)

or at temperature;
WPASME100609
205
. two-thirds of the minimum yield at room temperature (SY)

or at temperature,
so in this case its the lower of 4300 kPa/3 = 1433 kPa or
2
3 2070 kPa = 1380 kPa (ANS).
Question 7. B31.3: casting factors

Read from the table in B31.3 section 302.3.3c. The answer is 0.85
(ANS) as no surface nish is given in the question.
Question 8. B31.3: blank thickness

Using the blank formula in B31.3 section 304.5.3, t = d SQRT
[3P/(16SE)] + c, D = 278 mm = 10.94 in, P = 670 psi, S =
A182 F304L material at 400 8C (752 8F) = 13.2 ksi, t =
10.94 SQRT [(3 670)/(16 13 200)] = 1.06 in = 27 mm
(ANS).
Question 9. Flange test pressures

B16.5 table 1A and table 2-1.9. For a class 300 ange the table
shows a maximum temperature of 250 8C (ANS).
Question 10. B31.3: blank thickness

Using the blank formula in B31.3 section 304.5.3, t = d SQRT
[3P/(16SE)] + c, D = 10 in, P = 170 psi, S = A105 material at
500 8F = 19.4 ksi, t = 10 SQRT [(3 170)/(16 19 400)] =
0.4 in =10.29 mm; to go for the next size up 15 mm (ANS).
Question 11. B31.3: minimum design temperatures
B31.3 graph 323.3.2A. Curve C at 30 mm thick shows 15 8C

(ANS).
Question 12. B31.3: minimum design temperature

without impact testing
B31.3 graph 323.3.2B. Stress ratio = 62/130 = 0.467 gives a
temperature reduction of 60 8F (36 8C) (ANS).
Question 13. B31.3: allowable reductions in design

temperature
B31.3 graph 323.3.2B. Stress ratio = 64/160 = 0.4 gives a
temperature reduction of 60 8C (ANS).

Answers
Question 14. B31.3: minimum Charpy values

Method: B31.3 section 323.3.5. Checking strength from B31.3
table A-1 gives 20 ksi. Looking in table 323.3.5 for 65 ksi and less
gives a minimum Charpy value of 16 J (ANS).
Question 15. B31.3: thermal expansion

From B31.3 appendix C table, temperature rise from 70 to 500
8F gives an expansion of carbon steel (API 5L is carbon steel) of
3.62 in/100 ft. Pipe is 900.68 in = 75 feet so expansion =
3.62 0.75 = 2.71 in = 69 mm (ANS).
Question 16. B31.3: thermal expansion

From B31.3 appendix C table, temperature rise from 70 to
950 8F gives an expansion of stainless steel (API 5L is carbon
steel) of 10.8 in/100 ft. Pipe is 1801.36 in = 150 feet so expansion
= 10.8 1.5 = 16.2 in = 411 mm (ANS).
Question 17. API 570: corrosion rates

Method: API 570 section 7.2. 18 in std has wall thickness of
0.375 in = 9.525 mm. A515 Gr 50 has S = 15.8 ksi at 600 8F. E
= 0.6 for furnace butt welded pipe Y = 0.4 for ferritic pipe.
Using t = PD/[2(SE+PY)], t = 300 18 /2 [(15 800 0.6) +
(300 0.4)] = 5400/19 200 = 0.28 in = 7.14 mm. Hence it has
9.525 7.14 mm = 2.385 mm to corrode at 0.254 mm/yr = 9.4
years. It should be inspected after half of this = 4.7 years (ANS).
API 570 section 7.1.1. Hence it has 10 6 mm = 4 mm to

corrode at 0.25 mm/yr = 16 years. It should be replaced after
this 16 years (ANS).
Question 19. Flange and pipe test pressures

Method: B31.3 section 345.2.1. Pipe size details are not required.
It is simply Pt = 1.5 P Stest/Stemp = 1.5 254 = 381 psi
(ANS).

Method: API 570 section 7.1.1. Check 10 in Sch 140 has a wall
thickness of 1 in = 25.4 mm. So it has corroded 10 mm in 10
years = 1 mm/year (ANS).

Method: API 570 section 7.1.1. So it has corroded 2 mm in 4
years = 0.5 mm/year (ANS).
WPASME100609
207
Question 22. API 574: Barlow formula

Method: API 574 section 11.1. Answer is (b) (ANS).
Question 23. API 574: valve wall thickness
API 574 section 11.2 species that a valve must have 1.5 wall
thickness of a pipe connected to it. Hence thickness = 1.5 10
mm = 15 mm (ANS).
Question 24. API 574: anged connection thickness

API 574 section 11.2 species that a anged tting (like a valve)
must have 1.5 wall thickness of a pipe connected to it. So if the
anged tting is 30 mm the pipe must be 20 mm (ANS).
Question 25. API 570: pipe classes

API 570 table 6.1, class 1 pipe. Thickness measurements are
required every 5 years (ANS).

API 570 table 6.1, class 2 for hydrogen. Thickness measurements
are required every 10 years (ANS).

API 570 table 6.1, class 2 for strong acids and caustics. External
visual is required every 5 years (ANS).
Question 28. API 570: pipe classes CUI

Method: API 570 table 6.2 and table 6.2, class 3. Required
examination is 25 % (ANS).
Question 29. API 570: pipe classes CUI

API 570 table 6.2, class 1 but no damaged lagging. Required
examination is 50 % (ANS).
Question 30. API 570: pipe classes inspection period

API 570 section 6.6.1, class 2 small-bore secondary pipework.
Code says inspection is optional (ANS).
