API Codes

100

Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration and Reconstruction

API 653

200

Need both: Design Code and Inspection Code for Pressure Process Piping

ASME B31.3 & API 570

300

Fitness-for-Service

API 579

400

Alternative Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels

ASME Sec 8 Div 2

500

Why ASME Sec 8 Div 1 materials are split between Pre-1999 and Post-1998?

Safety factor changed from 4 to 3.5

T-Mins

100

Minimum structural t-min applied to pressure vessels and tank shells

0.1"

200

Additional material thickness available to allow for metal loss during the service life of the vessel component.

Corrosion Allowance

300

Requires a knuckle and crown radius for t-min calc

Torispherical Head

400

List the inputs required for a cylindrical shell t-min calculation

Design Pressure, Radius/Diameter, Allowable Stress, JE, Supplemental Thickness (optional)

500

Criteria required to not calculate a piping pressure t-min?

Below 500F, Below 500psi, AND 6" NPS or less.

Antea

100

Name of the T-min field populated from FFS module

Reassessed Limit Thickness

200

This level is used to capture Design Temperature & Design Pressure

Chambers

300

Name of the Corrosion Monitoring Report we run within Antea

Flash Report by CML Point

400

There are 2 different wrench icons that display next to an asset, what do they both mean?

1. Reclassified component (has a FFS t-min)

2. Has Operation

500

In FFS, this is the only component type we don't use the API 579 t-min calculator. (We still calculate t-min, but use the ASME S8D1 calc.)

Flat Heads

Miscellaneous

100

The 'S' in 5S and 10S

Stainless

200

( t_previous - t_actual ) / time between t_previous & t_actual 

Short Term Corrosion Rate

300

Portion of the tank floor within 3" of the inside edge of the shell, measured radially inward

Critical zone

400

( t_actual - t_min ) / corrosion rate

Remaining Life

500

For these two types of assets, maximum scheduling intervals are 5-year external & 10-year thickness
