An owner-user operates a carbon steel pressure vessel in hydrocarbon service. The vessel is built to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 and is in-service at a refinery. The inspector is asked whether API 510 applies to this vessel and its in-service inspection program.

Which statement is MOST accurate?

API 510 is an in-service inspection code for pressure vessels; it addresses inspection, repair, alteration, and rerating of pressure vessels after they are placed in service. It is not a new construction code (ASME VIII governs construction). (API 510—Scope/Applicability; ASME VIII, Div. 1—construction).

Select one answer

API 510 applies to in-service inspection, rating, repair, and alteration of pressure vessels, including ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 vessels in refinery service.

API 510 applies only to new construction of pressure vessels built to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1.

API 510 applies only to pressure vessels that are unfired steam boilers.

API 510 applies only if the vessel is in sour service and subject to API 571 damage mechanisms.
