🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR periodic inspection and testing requirements for boilers and main steam piping • Hydrostatic test pressures as a multiple of maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) • Whether any size exemptions exist for steam piping hydrostatic tests

💭 Think About

• Look up what 46 CFR actually says about the required test pressure as a ratio of the working or maximum allowable pressure. Is it 1.5 times, 2 times, or something else? • Determine whether the regulation ties the hydrostatic test to a fixed time interval (e.g., every 4 years) or to a different schedule or event. • Check if the regulation makes any exception for piping below a certain nominal size, or if all piping subject to main boiler pressure must be tested.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact pressure multiple specified (e.g., 1.5 × or 2 × MAWP) in 46 CFR for steam piping subject to boiler pressure. • Confirm whether 46 CFR explicitly mentions a 4‑year interval for hydrostatic testing of steam piping, or if the requirement is different. • Check carefully if 46 CFR actually states that small‑diameter piping (under a certain size) does not need to be hydrostatically tested, or if this is not supported by the text.

Question 1 of 20

According to 46 CFR's, steam piping subject to main boiler pressure must be hydrostatically tested at specified intervals. Therefore, which of the following statements is true?

The piping must be tested at a pressure and temperature specified by a Coast Guard marine inspector.

The piping must be tested at 1 1/2 times working pressure every 4 years.

Piping under 3 inches nominal pipe size need not be hydrostatically tested.

The piping must be tested at 2 times maximum allowable pressure every 4 years.
