Eye wash tank running at 50psi - Included in API 510?
(OP)
I have a vessel (136"O.D.) that is being used as an Eye Wash tank (RV set at 60psi). There is no Data Plate on it so i plan on doing API 510 Sect. 7.7 However, i just had a long debate on whether or not it is included in API 510 with an Engineer. The question is, what does "cushion" refer to in this statement?
API 510 Appendix A
"6. A vessel for containing water under pressure, including vessels containing air, the compression of which serves only as a
cushion, when the following limitations are not exceeded:"

Only 2-3 psi "wash" is needed to flush out particles or chemicals, but that flow should be continued over a long period of time, according to the eyewash standards in chemical protection/laboratory equipment sales catalogs.
