An API 510 inspector is asked whether a new pressure vessel (not yet placed in service) can be inspected and certified under API 510 to satisfy initial construction code inspection requirements. The vessel will be built to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 and stamped. Which response is MOST correct?

API 510 is an in-service inspection code intended for pressure vessels after they are placed in service; it does not replace ASME Section VIII construction requirements, including Authorized Inspector involvement and Code stamping for new construction. (API 510 scope/applicability; ASME BPVC VIII-1 general requirements).

Select one answer

Yes; API 510 can be used for new construction inspection if the inspector is an API 510 certificate holder

No; API 510 applies to pressure vessels after they have been placed in service, not as a substitute for ASME new construction inspection

Yes; API 510 applies to any pressure vessel regardless of whether it is in service

No; API 510 applies only to unfired steam boilers and does not apply to pressure vessels
