Pipeline Inspection

INTRODUCTION:

Piping systems used in process 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.

API 570 applies to piping systems that involve process fluids, hydrocarbons, chemical products, natural gas, high-pressure gasses, and other flammable or toxic fluids. Some piping systems such as fluid services operating below a certain threshold or fluid services involving water are optional in regards to API 570 requirements. Furthermore, fitness-for-service assessments and risk-based inspection are accepted methods under API 570 for evaluating on-stream piping systems and pressure containing components.
