The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) evaluates fire-damaged pressure vessels to determine the structural integrity of the assets and to recommend effective mitigation strategies for repair, rerating, or continued operation.
โWhat Standards and Codes are Used for Fire Damage Evaluations?
ATS experts use industry-recognized API and ASME standards and inspection practices for pressure vessel fire damage evaluations, such as:
- API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Part 11 โ Fire damage assessment and Fitness-for-Service evaluations
- API 510 โ Pressure vessel inspection and integrity assessment
- API RP 583 โ Inspection planning for insulated and fireproofed equipment
- API 653 โ Inspection, repair, and maintenance of storage tanks
- ASME Piping Standards โ Design, inspection, and evaluation of process piping
Our Pressure Vessel Fire Damage Evaluation Capabilities
Fire events can alter the mechanical properties of pressure vessel materials, affecting strength, reliability, and safe operating limits. Our team responds quickly following fire incidents to help clients make informed decisions regarding pressure vessel operations through a combination of Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessments and mechanical integrity (MI) services, including but not limited to:
Fitness-for-Service Assessments
- API 579 Part 11 Fire Damage Assessments
- API 579 Level 1, 2, and 3 FFS Assessments
- Mechanical Damage Assessments
- Remaining Life Evaluations
- Equipment Rerating Studies
- Safe Operating Limits (Pressure and Temperature)
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- Stress Analysis
Mechanical Integrity Services
- API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspections
- Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
- Visual Inspections
- Corrosion Evaluations
- Nondestructive Examination (NDE)
- Data Analysis
- Risk Assessments
- Engineering Repair Support
Mechanical integrity inspections are often required by OSHA and other governing agencies.
