‘Suggestion - How to get started studying
1. First, place your Tabs in the codes per the instructions.
Second, write your Code Notes in the codes per the instructions,
3. When doing Homework or the Practice Exam, always make 2 copy of the
materials. That way you can underline key words, cele answers on practice
Homework or Exam and still have a clean copy that you can repeat later.
‘4. APE 570 Study Guide (Module 7) - About 50% of the API exom comes from
‘API570, So this is a very important study guide! Included are Questions from
each chepter of API 570. The questions are in order of the ccde. When you
study APE 870, read a number of pages and then answer the corresponding
questions. You want to keep practicing this study guide until you can seore
90-95%.
5, APE 570 Data Sheets (Module 4) About 30-40% of the closed book test will
come from this information,
@. Pick a special color highlighter that you will use for only for DATA SHEET.
consuers. Use the Answer Key and look up each reference & highlight the
‘answer in the Codes using this highlighter. (Don't use this color for other
highlights). Probably easier if you just do one code at time. To keep track,
Just check off on the Answer Key the ones you have highlighted
When complete, tr to fill n the answers onthe blank Data Sheet.
‘Check your answers using he completed Answer Sheet.
Look up in the codes all the ones you missed.
Within a couple of hours repeat steps 2-4,
Goal is to keep working these until you are really goed at these!
P.S. Tf you don't have time to do it all. no problem! Just do a page or two.
T's amazing how much you can accomplish over along stretch if you just take
‘advantage of lots of 5-15 minute periods of “extra time”,
6. APE 570 Who Does Tt (Module 4) - There are many responsibilities identified
in APE 570. These are hard to memorize, so we've added « spread sheet study
id. We've listed every responsibility from the code on this sheet. ‘The firs?
‘hing to do is to take the Answer Sheet and find each of these responsibilities
in the code, Tt is useful to use a special color highlighter and highlight each of
‘these in APE 570, Probably the first time you complete this study cid you will
score less than 50%. Do not be discouraged! Look up each one you missed in
‘AP1570. Then repeat the exercise. You wil find that your score jumps signific
‘antly. The next day do the same thing, Try to get your score above 85%. Once
‘there, repeat this exercise once aweek

The “gap”
The Gap #
Why is “the gap" needed on socket welded pipe? Thermal expansion! If there is not a
‘gap, and if pipe grows more than the socket welded fing, then the fillet weld may crack
How could this occur?
1. During fabrication: Ifthe pipe wall is thinner than the SW fitting, then the pipe
will become hotter than the fting during welding,
2. Hot services: Ifthe line is uninsulated, the socket will not heat wo as much as the
Pipe.
3. Hot cyclic conditions
During in-service inspections using profile RT, occasionally a SW fing is found without
a gap. If this pipe has withstood the "test of time”, usually there is no reason to repair
and add “the gap". However, if operating temperature or cyclic conditicns increase, then
discuss this situation witha pressure equipment engine

What's the weak link on a flange? The bolts! The bolts are like monster springs. As the
‘mus are tightened, the bolts stretch. This creates a squeeze onthe gasket. [f here 18 not
enough "stretch", then there isnot enough “squeeze” and the gasket will leak
Also, the pressure rom the process creates a fore trying to pull apart the flanges. If

Thickness Terms
Thickness terms have not been standardized troughou diferent codes.
‘As ares, the terms used can be very confusing
sma
1. Retirement Thickness (his term isnot used n code). The minimum thickness
‘allowed. Ifthe component is below this thickness, the component should be
‘repaired o replaced.
+ In B31 this called “pressure design thickness”
+ InAPI S70 his is celled “required thickness”
‘+ Many call t “minimum thickness” or tmin’
2. Retirement Thickness plus Corrsion Allowance When ordering new pips,
oialways need to add the appropriate corrosion allowance
+ In B3L.3 this is called “minimum required thickness”
Coefficient ¥
{This factor is given in B31.3 Table 304.1. This factor produces avery minor affect on
the calculated thickness. Generally it reduces the retirement thickness by abou 1¥6

Notes! Stresses from Welding
1) When we apply heat in a non-uniform method (welding) the resul! is a
dimensional change causing the part to be distorted or warped
2) The Principle -As the metals cool they shrink. A CS weld that is %" wide
‘will shrink about 10 mils
+The base metal is “anchored”. As the weld shrinks, the base pulls the
cooling weld. (Tensile Sress)
+ Athigher temperatures the weld metal is weak and ductile. t can be
pulled and reshaped to account for shrinkage
+ Atlow temperature, the weld metal is stronger and less ductie, It
not easity “reshaped”
+ Remaining pull onthe weld once cool - "Residual Stresses”
+ I Residual Stresses exceed, strength of weld ~ Crack
3). Residual stresses can be reduced or eliminated by:
+ Preheat
+ Thermal heat treatment
+ Peening ~ pneumatic hammer used to pound on welds, e.g, jiterbug
