Question 1

When documenting a weld repair on a pressure vessel per API 510, which of the following is required?

Accepted Answer

The WPS, welder qualifications, preheat/PWHT records, and NDE results

Answer

Weld repair documentation must include the welding procedure specification (WPS), welder qualifications, preheat and post-weld heat treatment records, and nondestructive examination results.

Question 2

In API 510, what documentation is required to support a pressure test performed after a repair or alteration?

Accepted Answer

Test pressure value, duration, medium used, date, and results

Answer

Pressure test records must document the test pressure, hold duration, test medium, date performed, and outcome to verify the integrity of the repaired vessel.

Question 3

Under API 510, which party is responsible for maintaining the official inspection records for a pressure vessel?

Accepted Answer

The owner-user of the equipment

Answer

API 510 places responsibility for maintaining inspection records on the owner-user, who must keep them current and accessible throughout the vessel's service life.

Question 4

What information about inspection findings must be documented in the vessel's record to allow future corrosion rate calculations?

Accepted Answer

Measured thickness values at specific documented TML locations with dates

Answer

Corrosion rate calculations require thickness readings tied to specific, documented TML locations with corresponding dates so that metal loss over time can be computed.

Question 5

According to API 510, what must be documented when an inspector determines that a vessel can continue in service with a known defect (fitness-for-service)?

Accepted Answer

The FFS evaluation basis, acceptance criteria applied, and any monitoring requirements imposed

Answer

When a defect is accepted under FFS principles, API 510 requires documenting the evaluation basis, which acceptance criteria were applied, and any ongoing monitoring or restrictions.
