API 1169 & API SI Self Study Notes - Sharing

[charliechong]

Dear Brothers
I have received my result notification yesterday. Pass, however not at high score.
The major weakness is at pipeline construction inspection with 40/50, Pipeline Construction Safety 21/25, Pipeline Construction Environmental 13/15, General Quality Principles 8/10.

Following for information:
Pipeline Construction by Max Hosmanek, © The University of Texas Austin
Entire document is subject to testing .................(not read, the book was not available)

CGA (Common Ground Alliance) Best Practices
Entire document is subject to testing...............(not read, I should have read, few questions from here on the pipeline construction inspection)

ASME B31.4, Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries
ATTN: Test questions will be based on the following portions of the document only:

Chapter I, Scope and Definitions
Chapter II, Design
Chapter III, Materials
Chapter V, Construction, Welding, and Assembly
Chapter VI, Inspection and Testing

ASME B31.8, Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems
ATTN: Test questions will be based on the following portions of the document only:

General Provisions and Definitions
Chapter I, Materials and Equipment
Chapter II, Welding
Chapter III, Piping System Components and Fabrication Details
Chapter IV, Design, Installation and Testing........................................... ...(these ASME B31.4/31.8 were not read for the exam, since the codes were used for many years I thought I know them well, infact I should have read them for the exam)


Hope the above post exam analysis is useful to those plan to take the exam
