Yet, for decades, there was no dedicated API standard specifically for identifying which pipes are hazardous and how to isolate them quickly. "We have fireproofing on the vessel, so the pipe is fine

If you don't have a confident answer, you need API 615. Stay safe and keep the pressure where it belongs—inside the pipe. Yet, for decades, there was no dedicated API
