NBIC ‘National Board Inspection Code - Repair and Inspection Code’

API-510 ‘American Petroleum Institute - Pressure Vessels used in Chemical & Petroleum’

ASNT ‘American Society Nondestructive Testing’ - Nondestructive Examination of Materials

NEC ‘National Electrical Code [NFPA- National Fire Protection Association] -Electrical Devices

NFPA ‘National Fire Protection Association’ - Service Conditions & Special Hazards

API-650 ‘American Petroleum Institute’ - <15-psig to Atmospheric- Aboveground Storage Tanks
