Question 1

An API 510 inspector is asked to include a new atmospheric storage tank in the facility’s API 510 inspection program because it contains a low-vapor-pressure hydrocarbon. Which response is most consistent with API 510 scope?

API 510 applies to pressure vessels (generally within the scope of ASME VIII or equivalent). Atmospheric storage tanks are typically governed by API 653. Installing a PRD or performing RT does not change the equipment type/scope. (API 510 scope/applicability; API 653 scope).

Select one answer

Include it under API 510 because it contains hydrocarbon service

Include it under API 510 only if it has a pressure-relief valve installed

Do not include it under API 510; it is typically covered by API 653, not API 510

Include it under API 510 if the shell-to-bottom weld is radiographed
