The objective of this technical committee report is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the materials selection, fabrication, postweld heat treatment (PWHT), inspection, and testing practices that have recently been applied to new pressure vessels (referred to in this report as equipment) destined for use in wet hydrogen sulfide (H2S) refinery service.
American Petroleum Instltute (API), September 2002. 64p. The purpose of the study was to provide technical background, based on industry experience and consensus practice, for controlling corrosion in hydroprocess reactor effluent systems.
American Petroleum Instltute (API) Third Edition, February 2016. 94p. This recommended practice (RP) is intended to provide guidance on eveloping a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) program for fixed equipment and piping in the hydrocarbon and chemical process industries.
American Petroleum Instltute (API) Third Edition, April 2016. 632p. This recommended practice, API RP 581, Risk-Based Inspection Methodology, provides quantitative procedures to establish an inspection program using risk-based methods for pressurized fixed equipment including pressure vessel, piping, tankage, pressure relief devices (PRDs), and heat exchanger tube bundles.

This report covers many of the “lean”, “standard”, “super”, and “hyper” grades of duplex stainless steels (DSSs) most commonly used within refineries.
American Petroleum Institute (API). — First Edition, May 2009. — 50 p. This recommended practice (RP) is applicable to hydrocarbon process streams containing sulfur compounds, with and without the presence of hydrogen, which operate at temperatures above approximately 450 °F (230 °C) up to about 1000 °F (540 °C).
American Petroleum Institute (API). — Seventh Edition, July 2013. — 160 p. This Standard gives requirements and recommendations for the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and preparation for shipment of air-cooled heat exchangers for use in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
American Petroleum Institute (API). Seventh Edition, August 2008. — 56 p. This recommended practice summarizes the results of experimental tests and actual data acquired from operating plants to establish practical operating limits for carbon and low alloy steels in hydrogen service at elevated temperatures and pressures. The effects on the resistance of steels to hydrogen at...
