A Quick Guide to API 510 Certified Pressure Vessel Inspector Syllabus

File Size: 9.01 Mb

Description

This book is a ‘Quick Guide’ to the API 510 Certified Pressure Vessel Inspector examination syllabus (formally called the ‘body of knowledge’ by API). It is intended to be of use to readers who:

. intend to study and sit for the formal API 510 Individual Certification Program (ICP) examination or
. have a general interest in the content of API 510 and its associated API/ASME codes, as they are applied to the inservice inspection of pressure vessels.

The book covers all the codes listed in the API 510 syllabus (the so-called ‘effectivity list’) but only the content that is covered in the body of knowledge. Note that in some cases (e.g. ASME VIII) this represents only a small percentage of the full code content. In addition, the content of individual chapters of this book is chosen to reflect those topics that crop up frequently in the API 510 ICP examination. Surprisingly, some long-standing parts of the API 510 body of knowledge have appeared very infrequently, or not at all, in recent examinations.
