Brief overview of API 510 Basic reasons for inspection: 1. Determine physical condition of vessel 2. Determine type, rate, and causes of deterioration 3. Determine if vessel remains fit for continued service for its intended function
PMTSB 2006
Lets try some problems to assess the following; Uniform corrosion on shell Localized corrosion on shell Corrosion on heads Scattered pits
PMTSB 2006
Given the following table from API 510 Internal inspection interval 10 years life 2 years Full life External inspection interval 5 years life 2 years Full life

Uniform corrosion..lets try this problem In April 2002, thickness was 10mm In April 2005, thickness reduced to 9.7mm The minimum required thickness for vessel is 8.2mm Determine the following; 1. Remaining corrosion allowance 2. Corrosion rate 3. Remaining life
PMTSB 2006
Localized corrosion..lets try this problem Given the following; Vessel diameter is 96 (2.44mm) Required thickness is 7.0mm Distance from 1 6 is 36 Distance from a f is 30

Assessment of inspection findings Localized corrosion on heads..lets try this problem Remember the following;
If corrosion happens at knuckle area (Area A), use appropriate head formula
If corrosion happens at central area (Area B), use spherical head formula AND radius R shall be equal to K1D, where D is the shell diameter and K1 is from table 5-1 of API 510
D/2h (h = depth of head) 3.0 2.4 2.0 1.6 1.2

Assessment of inspection findings Localized corrosion on heads..lets try this problem Given the following basic data;
S = 20,000 psi
D = 80 Original thickness = 0.66
