8.1 SCOPE AND SPECIFIC EXEMPTIONS<br />

This section sets forth the minimum alternative inspection rules for pressure<br />

vessels that are exempt from the rules set forth in Section 6 except as<br />

referenced in paragraphs 8.4 and 8.5. Except for Section 6, all of the sections<br />

in this inspection code are applicable to Exploration and Production (E&P)<br />

pressure vessels. These rules are provided because of the vastly different<br />

characteristics and needs of pressure vessels used for E&P service. Typical<br />

E&P services are vessels associated with drilling, production, gathering,<br />

transportation, and treatment of liquid petroleum, natural gas, natural<br />

gas liquids, and associated salt water (brine).
