API RP 574 - Definitions

alteration
A physical change in any component that has design implications affecting the pressure containing capability or flexibility of a piping system beyond the scope of its design.
NOTE The following are not considered alterations: comparable or duplicate replacement; the addition of any reinforced branch connection equal to or less than the size of existing reinforced branch connections; and the addition of branch connections not requiring reinforcement.

condition monitoring locations CMLs Designated areas on piping systems where periodic inspections and thickness measurements are conducted.
10/7/2010

deadlegs
Components of a piping system that normally have no significant flow. Examples of deadleg locations include: blanked branches, lines with normally closed block valves, lines which have one end blanked, pressurized d dummy support t legs, l stagnant t t control t l valve l bypass b piping, spare pump piping, level bridles, relief valve inlet and outlet header piping, pump trim bypass lines, high point vents, sample points, drains, bleeders, and instrument connections.

API RP 574 - Piping

Piping can be made from any material that can be rolled and welded, cast, or drawn through dies to form a tubular section. The two most common carbon steel piping materials used in the petrochemical industry are ASTM A 53 and A 106. The industry generally uses seamless piping for most services. Piping of a nominal size larger than 16 in. (406 mm) is usually made by rolling plates to size and welding the seams. Centrifugally cast piping can be cast then machined to any desired thickness. Steel and alloy piping are manufactured to standard dimensions in nominal pipe sizes up to 48 in. (1219 mm).

API RP 574
Tubing - With the exception of heater, boiler, and
exchanger h t b tubing tubes, t bi is i similar i il to t piping, i i but b t is i manufactured in many outside diameters and wall thicknesses. Tubing is generally seamless, but may be welded. Its stated size is the actual outside diameter rather than nominal pipe size. (ASTM B 88 tubing, which is often used for steam tracing, is an exception in that its size designation is 1/8 in. (3 2 mm) less than the actual outside diameter.) (3.2 diameter ) Tubing is usually made in small diameters and is mainly used for heat exchangers, instrument piping, lubricating oil services, steam tracing, and similar services.
10/7/2010
API RP 574
Valves
The basic types of valves are gate, globe, plug, ball, diaphragm, butterfly, check, and slide valves. Valves are made in standard pipe sizes, materials, body thickness, and pressure ratings that permit them to be used in any pressure-temperature service in accordance with ASME B16.34 or API 599, API 600, API 602, API 603, API 608, or API 609, as applicable. Valve V l b bodies di can be b cast, forged, f d machined hi d from f bar b stock, k or fabricated by welding a combination of two or more materials. The seating surfaces in the body can be integral with the body, or they can be made as inserts. The insert material can be the same as or different from the body material.
API 574 - Reasons for Inspection

The primary purpose of inspection is to perform activities using appropriate techniques necessary to identify active deterioration mechanisms and to specify repair, replacement, or future inspections for affected piping. This requires developing information about the physical condition of the piping, the causes of its deterioration, and its rate of deterioration. By developing a database of inspection history, history the user may predict and recommend future repairs and replacements, and act accordingly, to prevent or retard further deterioration and most importantly, prevent loss of containment.
10
10/7/2010
API 574 - Reasons for Inspection

(continued)
This should result in
increased operating safety, reduced maintenance costs, and more reliable and efficient operations.
API 570 provides the basic requirements for such an i inspection ti program. This recommended practice supplements API 570 by providing piping inspectors with information that can improve skill and increase basic knowledge and practices
API 574 - Inspection Plans

An inspection plan is often developed and implemented for piping systems within the scope API 570. 570 Other piping systems may also be included in the inspection program and accordingly have an inspection plan. An inspection plan should contain the
inspection tasks tasks, scope of inspection, and schedule required to monitor damage mechanisms and assure the mechanical integrity of the piping components in the system.
11
10/7/2010

The plan will typically
a) define the type(s) of inspection needed, e.g. external, b) identify the next inspection interval and date for each inspection type, c) describe the inspection and NDE techniques, d) describe the extent and locations of inspection and NDE, e) describe any surface cleaning requirements needed for inspection and examinations, f) describe the requirements of any needed pressure test, e.g. type of test, test pressure, and duration, and g) describe any required repairs.

Other common details in an inspection plan include:
d describing ibi the th types t of f damage d mechanisms h i anticipated ti i t d or experienced in the equipment; defining the location of the damage; defining any special access requirements.
Inspection plans for piping may be maintained in spreadsheets hard copy files and proprietary spreadsheets, inspection software databases. Proprietary software, typically used by inspection groups, often assists in inspection data analysis and record keeping.
12
10/7/2010

For piping systems, inspection plans should address the following:
a) condition monitoring locations (CMLs) for specific damage mechanisms; b) piping contact points at pipe support c) welded pipe supports; d) ) CUI; ; e) injection points; f) process mix points; g) soil-to-air (concrete-to-air) interfaces; h) deadleg sections of pipe;

i) positive material identification; j) auxiliary piping; k) critical utility piping as defined by owner-user; l) vents/drains; m) threaded pipe joints; n) internal linings; o) critical valves; p) expansion joints; Inspection plans may be based upon various criteria but should include a risk assessment or fixed intervals as defined in API 570.
13
10/7/2010
API RP 574: Risk Based Inspection

Inspection plans based upon an assessment of the likelihood of failure and the consequence of failure of a piping system or circuit is RBI. RBI may be used to determine inspection intervals and the type and extent of future inspection/examinations. API RP 580 details the systematic evaluation of both the likelihood of failure and consequence of failure for establishing RBI plans. API Publication 581 details an RBI methodology that has all of the key elements defined in API RP 580
Minimum Alert Thickness

The alert thickness signals the inspector that it is timely for a remaining life assessment. This could include a detailed engineering evaluation of the structural minimum thickness, fitness-for-service assessment, or developing future repair plans. In addition, when a CML reaches the alert thickness, it raises a flag to consider the extent and severity at other possible locations for the corrosion mechanism. Alert minimum thicknesses are usually not intended to mean that pipe components must be retired when one CML reaches the default limit.

API 570 - Vibrating Piping and Line Movement Surveillance

Operating personnel should report vibrating or swaying piping to engineering or inspection personnel for assessment. Evidence of significant line movements that could have resulted from liquid hammer, liquid slugging in vapor lines, or abnormal thermal expansion should be reported. At locations where vibrating piping systems are restrained, periodic i di MT or PT should h ld be b considered id d to check h k for f the h onset of fatigue cracking. Branch connections should receive special attention particularly unbraced small bore piping connected to vibrating pipe.
20
10/7/2010
API 570 - Condition Monitoring Locations

Condition monitoring locations (CMLs) are specific areas along the piping circuit where inspections are to be made. The nature of the CML varies according to its location in the piping system. The selection of CMLs shall consider the potential for localized corrosion and service-specific corrosion as described in API 574 and API 571. Examples of different types of CMLs include
locations for thickness measurement, locations for stress cracking examinations, locations for CUI, and locations for high temperature hydrogen attack examinations.
API 570 SECTION 6 Frequency and Extent of Inspection

The frequency and extent of inspection on piping circuits depend on the forms of degradation that can affect the piping and consequence of a piping failure. The various forms of degradation that can affect refinery piping circuits are described in 5.3, while a simplified classification of piping based on the consequence of failure is defined in 6.2. 62 As described in 5.1, inspection strategy based on likelihood and consequence of failure, is referred to as risk-based inspection.
21
10/7/2010
API 570 SECTION 6 Frequency and Extent of Inspection

The simplified piping classification scheme in Section 6.2 is
based on the consequence of a failure. The classification is used to establish frequency and extent of inspection. The owner/user may devise a more extensive classification scheme that more accurately assesses consequence for certain piping circuits. The consequence assessment would consider the potential for explosion, fire, toxicity, environmental impact, and other potential effects associated with a failure. The three classes are recommended
Piping Classes
Class 1
S Services i with ith th the hi highest h t potential t ti l of f resulting lti in i an immediate i di t emergency if a leak were to occur are in Class 1. Such an emergency may be safety or environmental in nature. Examples of Class 1 piping include, but are not necessarily limited to, those containing the following:
Flammable services that may auto-refrigerate and lead to brittle fracture. Pressurized services that may rapidly vaporize during release, release creating vapors that may collect and form an explosive mixture, such as C2, C3, and C4 streams.
22
10/7/2010
Piping Classes
Class 1 (contd) Hydrogen y g sulfide (g (greater than 3 p percent weight) g ) in a g gaseous stream. Anhydrous hydrogen chloride. Hydrofluoric acid. Piping over or adjacent to water and piping over public throughways. (Refer to Department of Transportation and U.S. Coast Guard regulations for inspection of overwater piping.)
Piping Classes
Class 2
Services not included in other classes are in Class 2. This classification includes the majority of unit process piping and selected off-site piping. Typical examples of these services include those containing the following: On-site hydrocarbons that will slowly vaporize during release. Hydrogen, fuel gas, and natural gas. On-site strong acids and caustics.
23
10/7/2010
Piping Classes
Class 3
S Services i th t are flammable that fl bl but b t do d not t significantly i ifi tl vaporize i when they leak and are not located in high-activity areas are in Class 3. Services that are potentially harmful to human tissue but are located in remote areas may be included in this class. Examples of Class 3 service are as follows: On-site hydrocarbons that will not significantly vaporize during release. release Distillate and product lines to and from storage and loading. Off-site acids and caustics.
Inspection Intervals
The interval between piping inspections shall be established and maintained using the following criteria: Corrosion rate and remaining life calculations. Piping service classification. Applicable jurisdictional requirements. Judgment of the inspector, the piping engineer, the piping engineer supervisor, or a corrosion specialist, based on operating conditions, previous inspection history, current inspection results, and conditions that may warrant supplemental inspections covered in 5.4.5.

Rerating of Piping Systems

API 570 Piping inspection code: Inspection, repair, alteration and rerating of in alteration, in-service service piping systems covers the inspection, repair, alteration and re-rating procedures for in-service metallic piping systems. The code establishes the requirements and guidelines that allow the owners and users of piping systems to maintain the safety and mechanical integrity of systems after they have been placed into service
25
10/7/2010
Rerating Definition
Section 3 of API 570 - Definitions states the definitions that apply to this code. They include the following definitions that pertain to rerating: Rerating [3.39]: A change in either or both the design temperature or the maximum allowable working g pressure p of a piping p p g system. y A rerating may consist of an increase, a decrease, or a combination of both. Derating below original design conditions is a means to provide increased corrosion allowance.
MAWP Determination - 1
Maximum Allowable Working Pressure: (MAWP) [3 21]: The maximum internal pressure permitted in [3.21]: the piping system for continued operation at the most severe condition of coincident internal or external pressure and temperature (minimum or maximum) expected during service. It is the same as the design pressure, as defined in ASME B31.3 B31 3 and other code sections sections, and is subject to the same rules relating to allowances for variations of pressure or temperature or both
26
10/7/2010
MAWP for the continued use of piping systems shall be established using the applicable code. code Computations may be made for known materials if all the following essential details are known to comply with the principles of the applicable code:
a. Upper and/or lower temperature limits for specific materials. b Quality b. Q lit of f materials t i l and d workmanship. k hi c. Inspection requirements. d. Reinforcement of openings. e. Any cyclical service requirements.
For unknown materials, computations may be made assuming g the lowest g grade material and j joint efficiency y in the applicable code. When the MAWP is recalculated, the wall thickness used in these computations shall be the actual thickness as determined by inspection (see 5.6 for definition) minus twice the estimated corrosion loss before the date of the next inspection (see 6.3). Allowance shall be made for the other loadings in accordance with the applicable code. The applicable code allowances for pressure and temperature variations from the MAWP are permitted provided all of the associated code criteria are satisfied.
27
10/7/2010
Retirement Thickness Determination 1

The minimum required pipe wall retirement thickness shall be equal to or greater than the minimum required thickness, or retirement thickness, and shall be based on pressure,
mechanical, and structural considerations using the appropriate design formulae and code allowable stress.
Consideration of both general and localized corrosion shall be included
Retirement Thickness Determination 2

For services with high potential consequences if failure were to occur, occur the piping engineer should consider increasing the required minimum thickness above the calculated minimum thickness to provide for unanticipated or unknown loadings, undiscovered metal loss, or resistance to normal abuse. In this case, the retirement thickness shall be used in lieu of the minimum required thickness in 7.1.1 7 1 1 for remaining life calculations
28
10/7/2010
Rerating Requirements API 570 - Sub-Section 8.3

Rerating piping systems by changing the temperature rating or the MAWP may be done only after all of the following requirements have been met:
a. Calculations are performed by the piping engineer or the inspector. b. All reratings shall be established in accordance with the requirements of the code to which the piping system was b ilt or by built b computation t ti using i the th appropriate i t methods th d in i the latest edition of the applicable code. c. Current inspection records verify that the piping system is satisfactory for the proposed service conditions and that the appropriate corrosion allowance is provided.

d. Rerated piping systems shall be leak tested in accordance with the code to which the p piping p g system y was built or the latest edition of the applicable code for the new service conditions, unless documented records indicate a previous leak test was performed at greater than or equal to the test pressure for the new condition. An increase in the rating temperature that does not affect allowable tensile stress does not require a leak test. The piping system is checked to affirm that the required pressure relieving devices are present, are set at the appropriate pressure, and have the appropriate capacity at set pressure.
e.
29
10/7/2010

f. g. The piping system rerating is acceptable to the inspector or p piping p g engineer. g All piping components in the system (such as valves, flanges, bolts, gaskets, packing, and expansion joints) are adequate for the new combination of pressure and temperature. Piping flexibility is adequate for design temperature changes. A Appropriate i engineering i i records d are updated. d d A decrease in minimum operating temperature is justified by impact test results, if required by the applicable code.
