Introduction

Why API 570?


✓ Most common type of pressure equipment.
1How do we inspect? From the outside.
✓ Wide range process operating conditions.
■ Temperature: Lowers strength, causes thermal growth
■ Pressure: Increases internal stresses
■ Velocity: Often increases corrosion
■ Process Fluids: Vapors, liquids & solids; multiphase
1It's an abused equipment type!
■ Design requirements minimized, "it's just piping"
■Stepped on, used as a rigging location
■ Repairs - often temporary
