Pipeline In-Service Inspections
Piping systems used in petrochemical applications and other similar sectors are subject to constant pressure and crunches under the conditions of normal use and handling. These types of operating conditions can cause leaks or spills that may have various critical impacts on plant operators, including the interruption of regular operations, repair and clean-up charges, and possible fines connected to environmental pollution.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has established certain standards applicable to these crucial infrastructure components. API Standard 570, “Piping Inspection Code: In-service Inspection, Rating, Repair and Alternation of Piping Systems,” offers related requirements applicable to metallic and Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) piping.
This specific standard applies to the entire range of hydrocarbon and chemical process piping that is placed into service. Still, the standard can also be applied to piping used in many other sectors.
