Question 1

EASY

120:00

An inspector is assigned to a vertical pressure vessel in hydrocarbon service located inside a refinery process unit. The owner/user asks whether API 510 applies or if API 570 should be used instead because the vessel has multiple nozzles and connected piping. Which is the best determination?

API 510 is the in-service inspection code for pressure vessels; API 570 is for piping. The owner/user and inspector should define equipment boundaries so the vessel is managed under API 510 and the connected piping under API 570. (API 510 scope/applicability; API 570 scope).

Select one answer

API 510 applies to the pressure vessel; API 570 applies to associated piping systems, and boundaries should be defined accordingly

API 570 applies to the entire system because it is in a process unit, including the vessel shell and heads

API 510 applies only if the vessel was built to ASME Section VIII; otherwise neither API 510 nor API 570 applies

API 510 applies only to vessels containing steam; hydrocarbon vessels are covered by API 570
