Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 33

- A. Process and toxic concentration analysis may be used
- B. General industry, company or manufacturer failure data used

Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 34
________________ is usually not the primary objective of a RBI assessment, but it is frequently a side effect of
optimization.

Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 35
Before decisions are made based on risk analysis results, what should be done first?
- A. A sensitivity analysis should be completed
- B. The inspection plan should be completed
- C. The inspector shall approve the results
- D. The risk analysis should be validated
Answer: D
Explanation:
API 580 Section 4.4 states:
"Therefore, the risk analysis should be validated before decisions are made based on the analysis results." Validation ensures that the risk analysis is accurate and reliable for decision-making. While sensitivity analysis is valuable (Option C), it does not substitute the need for validating the overall analysis.

NEW QUESTION # 41
The removal of piping deadlegs is an example of:
- A. mitigating the probability of failure.
- B. mitigating the consequence of failure.
- C. modifying physical design to control inventory.
- D. modifying the process.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to API 580, Section 13.4, equipment modification is used to mitigate the probability of failure (PoF):
"Modification and redesign of equipment... can provide mitigation of POF. Examples include: ... c) removal of deadlegs..." The purpose of removing deadlegs is to reduce locations where stagnant flow can cause localized corrosion or fouling - in turn lowering the likelihood of failure.

NEW QUESTION # 42
In preparing for a future inspection, which of the following assessments can be used to determine what flaws would require repair or replacement?
- A. RBI
- B. FFS
- C. POF
- D. COF
Answer: B
Explanation:
Per Section 13.3 of API 580:
"A Fitness-For-Service (FFS) assessment (e.g., API 579-1/ASME FFS-1) may be performed to determine what size flaws, if found in future inspections, would require repair or equipment replacement." This makes Fitness-For-Service the correct method for evaluating whether existing or predicted flaws are tolerable or require corrective action.
Reference: API 580, 2nd Edition (2016), Section 13.3

NEW QUESTION # 51
The governing inspection codes (such as API 510 and API 570) and jurisdictional regulations, if any, shall be reviewed to determine what?
- A. If the risk of continued operation is acceptable
- B. A default maximum time periods for RBI reassessments
- C. When the next turnaround must be scheduled
- D. When equipment that is deteriorating must be replaced
Answer: B
Explanation:
API 580 Section 14.3.2 clearly states:
"Users should set default maximum time periods for reassessments. The governing inspection codes (such as API 510, API 570, and API 653) and jurisdictional regulations, if any, shall be reviewed in this context." This means the codes and regulations are explicitly consulted to determine maximum allowable intervals between RBI reassessments. This ensures compliance with inspection frequency expectations across different jurisdictions and standards.
