This document presents several case studies involving calculations related to corrosion rates, remaining life, inspection intervals, thickness measurements, and hydrostatic testing requirements for pressure vessels. It addresses topics like long term and short term corrosion rates, corrosion averaging, minimum weld build up thickness, maximum inspection intervals, thickness values for MAWP calculations, and hydrotest pressures for vessels constructed at different times requiring pressure testing after repairs. The calculations draw on vessel data like IDs, thicknesses, corrosion depths, design pressures, material properties, and corrosion rates to determine values relevant for vessel integrity and safety assessments.

Numerical in API 510 Code
(A)
Following information is available from vessel data sheet & inspection
records for a vessel in service. The service in unchanged from 2002 & will continue. Initial thickness = 1.2 inch (1992 May) First shutdown inspection thickness = 1.1 inch (1997 May) Second shutdown inspection thickness = 1.05 inch (2002 May) Current inspection thickness = 0.9 inch (2007 May) Required thickness = 0.75 inch
