These 10 free CS026F questions are organized by exam domain, so you can see how each part of the Certified in In-Line Inspection Data Analysis & Reporting blueprint is tested. Reveal the answer and explanation under each question.

Domain 1: Pipe materials (steel grades, design parameters, etc.) and pipeline components (weld types, installation, etc.). 7.5% of exam

Question 1

Which pipeline information is directly relevant when reviewing components for ILI analysis?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Weld types and installation details

Domain 2: Pipeline anomaly categories (geometrical, volumetric, planar). 7.5% of exam

Question 2

An ILI analyst is reviewing an indication that changes recorded pipe-wall geometry but does not represent metal loss. Which anomaly category best describes this finding?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C - Geometrical anomaly

Domain 3: ILI technologies, theoretical base of the underlying NDE principles, and their performance specification. 10% of exam

Question 3

During review of an MFL in-line inspection run, an analyst sees a signal pattern consistent with metal loss. Which interpretation is most appropriate before classifying the feature as a corrosion anomaly?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Confirm the feature using signal behavior, location, and available data before classification

Domain 4: Pipeline tracking and assessment of AGM marker. 7.5% of exam

Question 4

The purpose of an above-ground marker in ILI tracking is to:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Provide a known reference location for tracking and assessment

Domain 5: Correlation of different ILI runs by girth weld list comparison. 7.5% of exam

Question 5

An analyst correlates two ILI runs completed years apart. Which reference is particularly useful?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Girth weld list comparison

Domain 6: Correlation of inspection pipe tally to pipeline data. 7.5% of exam

Question 6

An inspection pipe tally does not match pipeline records. What is the appropriate next step?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Investigate the discrepancy before relying on correlation

Domain 7: Assessment of ILI data quantity (data loss) and quality (e.g., signal strength). 10% of exam

Question 7

An inspection file contains missing sensor data for a pipeline section. What should the analyst evaluate first?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Whether missing data affects confidence in detection and assessment

Domain 8: Interpretation and classification of pipeline anomalies and components, as well as indications of their origin (dirt, debris, objects, noise, etc.). 7.5% of exam

Question 8

An isolated signal occurs where debris and inconsistent response are present. What is the best initial interpretation?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Investigate possible non-anomaly sources such as debris or noise

Domain 9: Sizing of anomaly dimensions (depth, length, width, etc.). 10% of exam

Question 9

An anomaly has a measured depth of 2.4 mm and the pipe wall thickness is 12 mm. What is the depth percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - 20%

Domain 10: Anomaly interaction rules and failure pressure assessment standards. 7.5% of exam

Question 10

Two nearby metal-loss features may influence each other's behavior under pressure. Which concept should be considered?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Anomaly interaction rules
