Free sample question from ASME PCC-2

  1. The original construction code called for a flexibility analysis. How then must the weld buildup be handled?

    • A. It is exempt from flexibility requirements.
    • B. Reconciliation of the effect against the original analysis is required. ✓
    • C. The pipe must be replaced rather than repaired. with responsibility for the outcome left where it falls
    • D. A new hydrostatic test is the only requirement.
    • E. The buildup must be 2 times thicker than calculated. with the repair organisation left to interpret the rest

    The effect of the weld buildup must be reconciled with the original flexibility analysis or qualified by engineered design. ASME_PCC2, Article 202-3.1.3.1(k) / 202-3.2.1.5
