API 579-1/ASME FFS-1
API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 is a safety standard that guides the assessment and management of the integrity of pressure-containing equipment like tanks and pipes. It provides methods to evaluate the condition of these vessels, identify potential risks, and determine necessary repairs or inspections. This helps ensure the equipment operates safely, efficiently, and reliably, preventing failures, leaks, or accidents in industries such as oil, gas, and chemical processing. Essentially, it offers a systematic approach to maintaining equipment safety and longevity through risk-based assessment practices.
