Answers.
API 1110, Section 3.4
A deadweight tester or an equivalent pressure sensing device should have a certificate of calibration
that is not more than One year old at the start of testing or calibrated in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations.
One year old
API 1110, Section 3.6
Before pressure testing begins, a Pressure Test Procedure with explanatory notes and data should be
prepared.
Pressure Test Procedure
API 1110, Section 3.8.3
Pressure Test records may include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following
a. Continuous pressure versus time record with appropriate information listed on it.
b. Continuous temperature versus time record with appropriate information listed on it.
c. Deadweight calibration certificate.
a. Continuous pressure versus time record with appropriate information listed on it.

API 1169, Section 5.11.1
, A space that can be bodily entered by an individual but is not designed for continuous occupancy and
has a limited and restricted means of entrance or exit is called a Confined space
Confined space
API 1169, Section 5.11.1
Inspectors should be aware that Permits are required for confined space entry when either a
hazardous atmosphere exists, it contains material where an occupant could be engulfed, or is
configured where an occupant could be trapped.
Permits
API 1169, Section 5.12.1
A Hazardous atmosphere means an atmosphere that may be immediately dangerous to life and
health (IDLH) or exceeds permissible limits (PELs). The conditions are classified as follows:
Flammable gas, vapor, mist, or dust in excess of LFL
Oxygen deficient/excess environments where oxygen levels are below 19.5% or above 23.5%
PELs
Other atmospheric conditions or concentrations of toxic contaminants that may be IDLH
a. Hazardous atmosphere
Hazardous atmosphere
API 1169, Section 5.16.4.1
Inspectors should monitor the following for both safety and job efficiency purposes
a. Tools
b. Motorized Work Equipment
Tools & Motorized Work Equipment
API 1169, Section 6.5
Inspectors should be familiar with the environmental requirements for crossings of waterway
crossings, water bodies, and wetlands, including the following:
a. Types of crossing permits and the governmental agencies overseeing these permits.
b. Different water crossing installation and timing practices to comply with permit provisions.
