API (RP) 500, 4th Edition has now been released.

Happy Wednesday!

We try to keep up with all the recommended practices (RP) for American Petroleum Institute (API) which affect our clients, and noticed a new edition was release this month.  On API’s website under Standards News Highlights, it lists, “API published its 4th Edition of Standards for Classification of Locations for Electrical Installations at Petroleum Facilities” also known as API (RP) 500, Classification of Locations for Electrical Installations at Petroleum Facilities Classified as Class 1, Division 1, and Division 2, 4th Edition. The new edition adds a section which will applies to liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities and its different procedures.  API (RP) 500 makes important modifications to content and data having it keep up with current technology.  Remember if you want to buy a copy, you may get it from the APIwebstore.  If you would like to read more about the API(RP) 500 announcement, please click the link: API | API Publishes 4th Edition of Standard for Classification of Locations for Electrical Installations at Petroleum Facilities.
