FFS Pitting As Per API 510

1) The document discusses guidelines for evaluating isolated pitting found during vessel inspections. It provides three rules for determining if pits can be ignored: the remaining thickness below pits must be greater than half the required thickness, the total pitted area within an 8" circle must be less than 7 in^2, and the sum of pit lengths within an 8" line must be less than 2". 2) A practice question asks about pits found in a vessel with 0.985" thickness. The pits satisfy the dimensional criteria but their total measured length of 1.53" along an 8" line exceeds the maximum of 2". 3) Another question asks about pits in a vessel with 2.375" thickness
