Questions and Answers

A: Governing principle: MAWP sensitivity in Div 1 is dominated by joint efficiency when thickness and material are unchanged. Here, the shell calcs align with GA and inspection data, but PV Elite will silently penalize E when RT isn’t declared. Option C tempts engineers who’ve been burned by code-year shifts, yet the allowable stress delta isn’t large enough to explain a 15% MAWP drop on its own.

A: Governing principle: external pressure failure is controlled by rate and availability of make‑up gas, not PSV settings. With the PSV blinded, purge flow can outpace in‑leak and exceed external pressure limits. Option D traps engineers who assume vacuum capacity by default, ignoring that Div 1 requires explicit external pressure checks.

A: Governing principle: horizontal vessels rely on saddles to manage bending while controlling local shell stress and corrosion. Sleepers with wear plates address CUI and distribute load. Option B sounds inspection-friendly but ignores shell damage risk from steel‑to‑steel contact under thermal movement.

A: Governing principle: Div 1 external pressure uses chart‑based A and B factors tied to D/t and L/D. Running the numbers lands near half a bar for this geometry. Option D catches those who know the theory but skip the mandatory chart method required by code.
