Who makes the code decisions on inspection, repairs and return to service under API 570?
The authorized piping inspector. The decision is not handed to the person who did the work, a foreman or maintenance management.API 570: inspection organization and responsibilities
Who is responsible for the piping inspection program?
The owner/user, who runs it through an inspection organization.API 570: owner/user inspection organization
Who does or reviews the design work for a rerating or an alteration?
The piping engineer.API 570: responsibilities (piping engineer)
An examiner finds an indication. Does the examiner decide whether it is acceptable to the code?
No. The examiner performs the NDE and reports the result. The inspector decides acceptability.API 570: responsibilities (examiner and inspector)
What is a piping circuit?
A group of piping with similar design, material and process conditions, expected to degrade in a similar way, so it can be inspected and assessed as one unit.API 570: definitions (circuit); API RP 574: inspection planning by circuit
What is a CML?
A condition monitoring location: a marked spot on a circuit where wall thickness is read again and again, so a trend can be built.API 570: definitions (condition monitoring location)
Why is a CML physically marked?
So the same spot is read every time. Readings from different spots cannot be trended, and a single reading is not a corrosion rate.API 570: thickness measurement locations
What does an external visual inspection look at?
Leaks, insulation and jacketing, supports, alignment and vibration, from outside the line.API 570: types of inspection (external visual); API RP 574
A corroded spool is replaced with the same pipe to the same design. Repair, alteration or rerating?
Repair. It restores the existing design.API 570: definitions (repair, alteration, rerating)
A line is rebuilt in a larger pipe size. Repair, alteration or rerating?
Alteration. It changes the design.API 570: definitions (repair, alteration, rerating)
Is one closed valve positive isolation on a hazardous line?
No. Use a blind, or a double block with a bleed, then depressure, drain and verify before opening.API 570: safety precautions; API RP 574: preparation for inspection
What is the hazard of pyrophoric iron sulfide, and how is it controlled?
It forms in sour service and can ignite when it dries in air. Keep it wet and plan for it before opening the line.API RP 574: safety precautions; API 570: safety
