Congratulations to the new API 580 certified and more API 653 questions

By Carlos Molina

Hi friends. I am longing to make it in the integrity field. I mean, I want to make it in the tanks, in the pipes and in the pressure vessels and static equipment.

Yo can see tank levels at once with infrared cameras

Here is a gift for you

Today I am writing you about the API 580 certification, the same I talked about in this article

On february 2, I received this mail from the guys of prometric that contained a pdf file. I opened up the PDF file and read that I  achieved a passing grade and i am now certified to conduct rbi inspections. I dont have the experience yet though. Here is a screenshot of the document.

But as for the exam, I actually just studied some 3 days total. I really didn’t have much time in the previous months to study, and just one month before the exam, the API 580 course I was due was cancelled. I thought I had no chance. In the last week, I read the RP on the bus while in my conmute, I read the RP while I was having my lunch, and I reviewed some questions and answers I had in an spaced repetition software (in a very disorderly way).
I almost flunked. I got 50 questions right, just to a little over the 71% needed. What helped me was that I can understand english well and generally have been good in multiple choice exams troughout my life.

During the exam, all you had to do is make sure that you get the 49 questions you need in order to pass. Be sure of 49, and you can do anything to the others, from guessing to discarding to whatever. And if you passed, congratulations on this significant professional acomplishment.

And continuing with my goal to completely prepare you for these exams, here are more questions for the API 653 Certification examination.

MICROBIOLOGICALLY INDUCED CORROSION QUESTIONS

I am bringing you today 25 questions about Microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC). You can download them Here. Microbial corrosion, also called bacterial corrosion, bio-corrosion, microbiologically influenced corrosion, or microbially induced corrosion (MIC), is corrosion caused or promoted by microorganisms, usually chemoautotrophs. It can apply to both metals and non-metallic materials (Wikipedia)

For the exam, I can´t tell you how many questions about this subject will show up. Maybe none. Anyway, I prepared these questions with the intention to make you really knowledgeable to the subject.
