The Calculators herein are:
i. Tools designed for inspectors and engineers to rapidly and in compliance with the required steps, validate pass/fail screening requirements of in-service systems found with defects using the methodology of API579-1 FFS in the applicable Level 1 and Level 2 scenarios as per applicable defects.
ii. They are not intended to replace provincial/state requirements, Design Code guidelines and user-owner risk profile models.
iii. They are not a detailed engineering analysis and not intended to be a comprehensive tool.
iv. They do not generally take into consideration advanced level assessments outside level 1 and Level 2 assessment approaches as well as several complex external loads and conditions that may exist in a pressure system.
v. The use of these tools requires adequate knowledge of the tool, as well as steps and limitations as specified in the applicable design code and API579-1 code of the defect analysed.
vi. Detailed or advanced engineering analysis (Level 3) may be required when the limitations as detailed in the code relate to a system in question and where the software application specifies or states limitations of critical variables not accounted for.
vii. The consultation of a competent engineer is recommended for assessing the design of the system and ensuring that internal pressure meets the relevant statutory design criteria for continued use.
