DAILY POINTS TO RECALL (DAY 4)

1. API 510 is applicable to vessels that have been placed in service,
and it can not be adopted for new constructions.

2. Following are excluded from scope of API 510:

a. All mobile vessels

b. All exclusions of ASME Sec VIII, Div. 1
c. Vessels not exceeding 5 cubic feet and 250 psi design
pressure or 1.5 cubic feet and 600 psi design pressure

3. Alteration: It is change in component that has design

implications affecting pressure and/or temperature rating.

4. Repair: It is restoring vessel suitable for operations at the

present design conditions. Repairs do not change Pr-Temp
rating of vessel.

5. Authorized inspection agency. Any one of following:

a. Jurisdiction organization
b. Insurance company which under writes insurance of pressure
vessels
c. Inspection organization of owner-user
d. Inspection organization under contract with owner user

6. Repair Organization: Any one of following:

a. Holder of ASME certificate & appropriate code symbol stamp

b. Owner-user
c. Contractor under contract with owner-user
d. Organization authorized by jurisdiction

7. On-stream inspection means NDT inspection done on Vessel

without entering inside vessel. This inspection is basically to
know process side deterioration.

8. Re-rating: A change in either MAWP or temperature rating or

change in both.

9. Owner-User bears Ultimate responsibility for all activities

(inspection, Engineering, repairs etc.) under API 510.

DAILY POINTS TO RECALL (DAY 4)

10. Authorised Inspector is responsible to Owner-User to:

a. Determine that all work (inspection, repairs ,alteration) is

carried out as per requirements of API-510
b. By getting involved in the actual activities performed
c. Evaluate & accept/reject results of NDT and other tests.

11. Repair Organisation is responsible to Owner-User for the use

of proper materials, Quality Control, Workmanship during the
repair work performed by them.

12. Prior to any inspection, safety rules (OSHA or other) shall be

reviewed and followed. NDT equipment shall be as per Safety
rules and Protective clothing shall be used where required.

13. Modes of failure:

a. Chemical corrosion due to contaminants in fluid

handled.

b. Fatigue: Due to stress reversals (vibration, changes

of temperature or pressure)

c. Creep: At elevated temp (in areas of stress

concentration)

d. Freeze Damage: Failure due to freezing and

expansion of water/aqueous solutions.

e. Brittle failure: Due to loss of impact strength at

lower temperature

f. Tamper Embrittlement: Loss of ductility in Cr-Steels

due to improper PWHT or service at high
temperature (>700ºF)
