API 560

[pstress]

I am developing a specification for a waste heat recovery unit (fined tube heat exchanger system) for a gas turbine exhaust. I was thinking of using API 560 as a basis for this specification. API 560 is intended for direct fired units in refineries but this application is neither a direct fired application or in a refinery. I suspect that the bidders could feel that specifying API 560 for this application is too conversative. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Comments would be appreciated.

I'd contact the bidders and get their input ahead of time. I would think one question is if there is any other standard dealing with the product.
