120:00

A pressure vessel in a refinery is stamped with the ASME Section VIII, Division 1 U-stamp and is in in-service operation. The owner/user asks whether API 510 can be used to establish inspection intervals and evaluate continued operation.

Which statement is MOST accurate?

API 510 is an in-service inspection code intended for pressure vessels after they are placed in service, including those constructed to ASME Section VIII. ASME Section VIII governs new construction; API 510 governs in-service inspection/assessment, repairs, alterations, and rerating. (API 510 Scope; ASME VIII-1 general applicability for construction)

Select one answer

API 510 applies to in-service inspection, repair, alteration, and rerating of pressure vessels that have been placed in service, including those built to ASME Section VIII.

API 510 applies only to vessels built after API 510 was first published and does not apply to older vessels.

API 510 applies to piping systems; pressure vessels must be inspected only to ASME Section VIII rules.

API 510 applies only to unfired pressure vessels that are not stamped to ASME codes.
