设备的检验对于设备的安全运行至关重要，设备的安全运行与整个装置/工厂的安全高效运行密切相关。石油化工行业的压力容器，压力管道和储罐等大类设备的检验，业界积累了丰富的经验，也形成了检验的标准体系。
美国石油学会（American Petroleum Institute，API）发布了一系列和设备检验相关的标准（Standard, Std），推荐做法（Recommended Practice, RP）和技术公告（Bulletin, Bull）供行业使用，以下列出供大家参考。API Std 510-2022 Pressure Vessel Inspection Code: In-Service Inspection, Rating, Repair and Alteration / 压力容器检验规范：在役检验、定级、修理和改造, 11th Edition / 第11版API Std 570-2016 (Addendum 1-2017, Addendum 2-2018, Addendum 3-2023) Piping Inspection Code: In-Service Inspection, Rating, Repair and Alteration of Piping Systems / 管道系统检验规范：在役检验、定级、修理和改造, 4th Edition / 第4版API RP 571-2020 Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry / 炼油行业影响固定设备的损坏机制, 3rd Edition / 第3版API RP 572-2023 Inspection Practices for Pressure Vessels / 压力容器检验, 5th Edition / 第5版API RP 573-2021 Inspection of Fired Boilers and Heaters / 受火锅炉和加热器检验, 4th Edition / 第4版API RP 574-2016 Inspection Practices for Piping System Components / 管道系统组件检验, 4th Edition / 第4版API RP 575-2020 Inspection Practices for Atmospheric and Low-Pressure Storage Tanks / 常压和低压储罐检验, 4th Edition / 第4版API RP 576-2017 Inspection of Pressure-Relieving Devices / 压力泄放装置检验, 4th Edition / 第4版API RP 577-2020 Welding Processes, Inspection and Metallurgy / 焊接工艺，检验及冶金, 3rd Edition / 第3版API RP 578-2023 Material Verification Program for New and Existing Assets / 新设备和现有设备的材料验证程序, 4th Edition / 第4版API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1-2021 Fitness-For-Service / 合于使用评价, 4th Edition / 第4版API 579-2 / ASME PTB-14-2023 Fitness-For-Service Example Problem Manual / 合于使用评价例题手册, 2nd Edition / 第2版API RP 580-2023 Elements of a Risk-Based Inspection Program / 基于风险检验计划的要素, 4th Edition / 第4版API RP 581-2016 (Addendum 1-2019, Addendum 1-2020) Risk-Based Inspection Methodology / 基于风险检验方法, 3rd Edition / 第3版API RP 582-2023 Welding Guidelines for the Chemical, Oil and Gas Industries / 化工和油气行业焊接指南, 4th Edition / 第4版API RP 583-2021 Corrosion Under Insulation and Fireproofing / 保温层和防火层下腐蚀, 2nd Edition / 第2版API RP 584-2021 Integrity Operating Windows / 完整性操作窗口（IOW）, 2nd Edition / 第2版API RP 585-2021 Pressure Equipment Integrity Incident Investigation / 压力设备完整性事故调查, 2nd Edition / 第2版API Bull 587-2021 Guidance for the Development of Ultrasonic Examiner Qualification Programs / 超声检查员资格认证计划制定指南, 1st Edition / 第1版API RP 588-2019 Recommended Practice for Source Inspection and Quality Surveillance of Fixed Equipment / 固定设备采购检验及质量监督的推荐做法, 1st Edition / 第1版API Bull 590-2022 SCIMI Term, Definition and Acronym Standardization Work Process / SCIMI术语、定义和首字母缩略词标准化工作流程, 1st Edition / 第1版API Std 653-2014 (Addendum 1-2018, Addendum 2-2020) Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration and Reconstruction / 储罐检查、维修、改造和重建, 5th Edition / 第5版
