When should the owner/operator approve the MVP testing procedures of a fabricator or third-party agency?
- A. Prior to fabrication ✓
- B. After the equipment is installed
- C. Only if a failure occurs
- D. During the final turnaround
- E. At the end of the project
Reviewing procedures before work begins ensures that the testing methods and acceptance criteria meet the owner's safety and quality standards. API 578, 5.5.2
If a repair is made to an autogenous-welded pipe (no filler), what should be tested?
- A. Only the filler metal
- B. The groundwater
- C. Only the pipe hangers
