API 510 provides guidelines for inspecting and repairing in-service pressure vessels. It applies to vessels that are in use but not new constructions. Excluded from the scope of API 510 are mobile vessels, vessels exempted by ASME Code Section VIII Division 1, and small vessels under 5 cubic feet and 150 PSI design pressure or 1.5 cubic feet and 300 PSI design pressure. An alteration changes a component in a way that affects the pressure or temperature rating, while a repair restores a vessel to its original design conditions without changing its ratings. The owner/user bears ultimate responsibility for inspection, engineering, repairs, and other activities under API 510.
