8 API 576 Inspection of Pressure-Relieving Devices Available to Purchase

This chapter is about learning to become familiar with the layout and contents of API 576: Inspection of Pressure-Relieving Devices. Similar to API 572, API 576 is a well-established document (it is still on its 2000 edition) with its roots in earlier documents published by the American refining industry. It is more a technical guide document rather than a code, as such, but it does perform a useful function in supporting the content of API 510.
