In a non convertible coating the role of the primary solvent is to: - Correct answer-To control the evaporation rate. Removal of weld splatter is required: - Correct answer-When specifically identified in the owners specification. Common errors that may produce inaccurate readings when using a Dial Type Magnetic Pull Off Dry Film Thickness(DFT) gauge include: - Correct answer-Failing to determine the Base Metal Reading(BMR),Rotating the dial too fast when taking measurements, and Measuring ditty, tacky, or soft films. Conventional spray us good choice when: - Correct answer-High quality finishes are required. Which of these tests uses a syringe? - Correct answer-Bresle Patch Which one of these elements is not necessary for corrosion to occur: - Correct answerReference Cell Digital hygrometers - Correct answer-determine relative humidity, air temperature,and dew point temperature. Using SSPC Vis 1 as a guide when performing a visual inspection of a steel surface prior to surface preparation a NACE Inspector would assign which designations to the surface condition: - Correct answer-Rust Grades A-D Inspectors daily reports are used: - Correct answer-By the contractor to estimate the mount of work done that day, To provide continuity between inspectors, To aid in arbitration between the contractor and client, and To help in cases of a coating failure. Silicone coatings are typically: - Correct answer-Applied in very thin films. Excess moisture during holiday testing can cause erroneous by creating a path across the surface of the coating to pinholes previously detected, or directly to the signal return connection. This is often referred to as? - Correct answer-Telegraphing ASTM Standards are applicable: - Correct answer-When specified.
