API 510 Exam Prep 2026

Preparing for the API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector certification exam? API 510 Prep gives you over 600 original practice questions, full timed mock exams and a live estimate of the score you would get today.

Built for working inspectors and engineers who need to pass first time, not for casual quizzing.

WHAT YOU GET

600+ API 510 practice questions written in house, spread across all 11 Body of Knowledge domains in the same proportion the real certification exam uses. No recycled question dumps and no "all of the above". Four options, one defensible answer, and a written explanation of why it is right and why each other option is wrong. It is a practice test and a study guide in one, so you are not left with a bare answer key.

FULL TIMED MOCK EXAMS

A complete 170 question mock in two sections that mirror the real API 510 exam: 110 closed book in 165 minutes, then 60 open book in 225 minutes. Same domain weighting, same pacing, same fatigue, so exam day holds no surprises.

YOUR PREDICTED EXAM SCORE

A running estimate of the percentage you would score today, corrected for guessing and broken down by domain. You stop guessing whether you are ready and start seeing which domain is holding you back.

PRACTISE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT

No daily cap, and no limit on mock exams. Practise for an hour if you have an hour.

For the days you do not, the optional Daily 10 builds the habit: ten questions picked from your weakest domains, short enough to finish while the kettle boils. Set a reminder for a time that suits you, or leave it off.

SMART REVIEW

Spaced repetition on the questions you get wrong. A missed question comes back at widening intervals until you get it right three times in a row, so it actually sticks.

CALCULATIONS STEP BY STEP

Corrosion rate, remaining life, inspection interval, MAWP, static head, hydrotest pressure and weld sizing, each broken into one operation at a time. The open book calculation section stops being the part you dread.

EVERY DOMAIN, WEIGHTED LIKE THE EXAM

API 510 inspection code, calculations, ASME VIII Division 1, ASME IX welding qualification, ASME V nondestructive examination, API 577 welding, API 571 damage mechanisms, API 576 pressure relieving devices, API 572 inspection practices, ASME PCC-2 repairs and API 578 material verification.

WHO IT IS FOR

Pressure vessel inspectors, plant and mechanical integrity engineers, QA and QC leads, NDT technicians moving into inspection, and anyone renewing their certification or stepping up from API 570 or API 653.

A STUDY PLAN, NOT JUST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Start with a placement test that maps where you stand across every domain. From there the app builds practice around your weak spots, so your study material adapts instead of sitting in a fixed list.

WORKS OFFLINE

The whole question bank sits on your device. Practice, mock exams and review all work with no signal, which matters on a plant or offshore.

BUILT FOR ADULTS

No cartoon mascots, no streaks designed to guilt you. A clear predicted score and a plan for the domains you are weakest on.

HONEST LIMITS

We do not guarantee a pass, and nobody can. API does not publish a pass mark, so the engine targets 75 percent on the scored blueprint and tells you plainly when you are below it. This is a study tool and not a substitute for the standards themselves or for formal training.
