Question 1

EASY

120:00

An API 510 inspector is asked whether a 4 in. NPS carbon steel piping spool between a vessel nozzle and the first isolation valve is covered by API 510 inspection requirements. The spool is integral to the vessel’s pressure boundary during normal operation. Which statement is most accurate?

API 510 defines the pressure vessel boundary and allows the owner/user to define inspection scope for components that are part of the vessel pressure boundary (e.g., nozzles and attached components up to defined limits). Determination is based on API 510 scope and owner/user responsibilities, not solely on relief devices or piping code. (API 510: scope/definitions; owner/user responsibilities).

Select one answer

It is covered by API 510 because it is part of the pressure vessel pressure boundary and within the vessel’s inspection scope as defined by the owner/user.

It is covered only if it contains a pressure relief device.

It is not covered because API 510 applies only to the vessel shell and heads, not nozzles or attached piping.

It is covered only if the spool was built to ASME B31.3.
