1.

In a Positive Material Identification program, a material non-conformance is a test result that:

3.8 material nonconformance: Is not consistent with the specified alloy.

2.

What is the remaining life of a piping system with a short-term corrosion rate of 0.010 in/yr (0.25 mm/yr) and a long-term corrosion rate of 0.005 in/yr (0.13 mm/yr)? A minimum required thickness of 0.150" (3.8 mm), a remaining thickness of 0.210" (5.3 mm), and an original thickness of 0.270" (6.8 mm).

7.1.1 Long-term and short-term corrosion rates should be compared to see which results in the shortest remaining life as part of the data assessment.

3.
