B)Aseptic necrosis and anoxia
C)Both A and B
D)Neither A nor B

Answer 2

A

Question 3

High-temperature water is water that has been heated sufficiently to create steam.

Answer 3

False

Question 4

Atmospheric pressure is typically measured using a barometer.

Question 5

Which of the following is NOT a method for detecting pressure hazards?

A)Cloth streamers
B)Sounds
C)Leak detectors
D)Proof pressure tests

Question 6

Decompression sickness occurs only when making a rapid rise from underwater.

Question 7

OSHA produces a comprehensive standard for pressure hazards.

Question 8

Water hammer is a shock effect caused by:

A)Vacuums
B)Negative pressures
C)Destructive testing
D)Liquid flow suddenly stopping

Question 9

Altitude sickness is a form of hypoxia associated with extreme heights.

Question 10

Magnetic particle testing is a form of destructive testing because the time being tested is damaged in the process.

Question 11

Liquid penetration testing is a form of non-destructive testing because the object being tested is not damaged in the process.

Question 12

Boyle's law states that the product of a given pressure and volume is constant with constant temperature.

Question 13

Which of the following is NOT considered a nondestructive form of testing?

A)Deaerator digester
B)Radiography
C)Liquid penetration
D)Magnetic particle

Question 14

Which of the following is NOT typically a cause of a gas leak?

A)Dysbarism
B)Operators errors
C)Contamination
D)Overpressurization

Question 15

Any fluid that contains water and hydrogen sulfide is considered wet hydrogen sulfide.

Question 16

The term inspiration in the context of pressure means inhalation or breathing in.
