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.
If you would like help in looking

We hope you have a great and
productive rest your week! Keep cool in
this heat wave!
