Explain the API-510 provisions regarding the frequency and extent of inspections required after a pressure vessel has been altered or repaired.
Suggested Answer:
API-510 requires that pressure vessels undergo rigorous inspections following any repairs or alterations to ensure the integrity of the vessel is maintained. The standard stipulates that these vessels should be inspected immediately after the work is completed and before they are returned to service.
The type of inspection can vary but typically includes non-destructive testing (NDT) to verify the quality of the repair or alteration and to confirm that no additional damage was introduced during the process.
