3. Inspection and control methods for detecting corrosion under thermal insulation
3.1 Inspection methodologies (RBI)
Inspection planning based on a risk-based approach (RBI: Risk Based Inspection) is widely implemented in the petroleum industry to increase reliability and optimize the cost-effectiveness (or cost-safety) ratio of facility monitoring. API reference documents 580 and 581 describe the principle and the elements to be implemented for the inspection of fixed equipment and...
