Piping Inspection Code: In-Service Inspection, Rating, Repair, and Alteration of Piping Systems

API 570 covers inspection, rating, repair, and alteration procedures for metallic and fiberglass-reinforced plastic piping systems and pressure relief devices that are in service. The code applies to hydrocarbon and chemical process piping to determine and maintain integrity through an in-service inspection and condition monitoring program, as well as repair guidance. The intent is for owner/users to respond to inspection results requiring corrective actions to ensure continued safe operation according to a risk analysis.

Process piping systems that have been retired from
service and abandoned in place are no longer covered by
this “in service inspection” Code. However abandoned in
place piping may still need some amount of inspection
and/or risk mitigation to assure that it does not become a
process safety hazard because of continuing
deterioration. Process piping systems that are temporarily
out of service but have been mothballed (preserved for
potential future use) are still covered by this Code.

The intent of this Code is to specify the in-service


inspection and condition-monitoring program as well as
repair guidance that is needed to determine and maintain
the on-going integrity of piping systems. That program
should provide reasonably accurate and timely
assessments to determine if any changes in the condition
of piping could possibly compromise continued safe
operation. It is also the intent of this Code that
owner/users shall respond to any inspection results that
require corrective actions to assure the continued integrity
of piping consistent with appropriate risk analysis. API
570 is intended for use by organizations that maintain or
have access to an authorized inspection agency, a repair
organization, and technically qualified piping engineers,
inspectors, and examiners, all as defined in Section 3.
