Preview Questions Reliability Engineer | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: When performing reliability testing on a storage vessel used in a chemical plant, what is the most important factor to monitor during the test?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Internal pressure and material degradation

The cost of replacement vessels

The aesthetic condition of the vessel

Employee safety protocols during the test

Question 2: In the context of risk assessment, what does the term ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) mean?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The risk should be eliminated entirely at any cost

The risk should be reduced only if it increases plant productivity

The risk is acceptable if it does not affect system operations

The risk should be reduced to a level where further reduction is not cost-effective or feasible

Question 3: What is a common failure indicator for compressors in petrochemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reduced suction pressure

Increased discharge temperature

High oil temperature

High vibration levels

Question 4: What role does data fusion play in predictive maintenance for the petrochemical industry?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the need for sensor calibration

It only focuses on vibration data for analysis

It ensures that only historical data is used to predict failures

It integrates data from multiple sensors to create a comprehensive view of equipment health

Question 5: In a petrochemical plant, what is the best method for analyzing creep failure in high-temperature equipment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Conducting an ultrasonic test on the material

Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations

Using metallurgical analysis and stress-strain testing

Performing a visual inspection of the affected area

Question 6: What is the role of human error in Root Cause Analysis within a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Human error is not relevant for process equipment failures

Human error is rarely the cause of plant failures and should be ignored

Human error is often a contributing factor that should be analyzed along with mechanical issues

It should only be considered if the equipment is manual
