Is Advanced Statistical Analysis the Next Step in Your Piping Inspection Journey?

Jul 22, 2022

Advanced statistical analysis can provide measurable benefits and new insights into corrosion management, especially when the knowledge is shared across an organization. In this Inspectioneering Journal article, Chris Massengale and Robert Clarke discuss how the implementation of this advanced analysis with other best practices will provide a better understanding of corrosion risks, optimize maintenance costs, and create safer facilities.

Let E²G’s SMEs Train Your Future SMEs!

Jun 28, 2022

Knowing the fundamentals of industry programs, codes and standards, and technology will prepare new engineers for long-term success. At E²G, we have developed a new training course that supports knowledge transfer between industry experts and junior engineers, plus fills the gap for those companies without a formal training program. This article expands upon the June 16th webinar in which Mark Harmody introduced the curriculum for the Fundamentals of Asset Lifecycle Management course (FALCM).

Fitness-for-Service of Aboveground Storage Tanks – Applicability of API 579

May 30, 2022

Fitness-for-Service (FFS) is a recognized industry practice for assessing equipment mechanical integrity when unanticipated damage is found and can often be used to extend service life while minimizing downtime and avoiding costly repairs. In this article, Katelyn Gustoff and Joel Andreani examine the applicability of using API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 (API 579) FFS and API 653 assessment standards with in-service ASTs.

Updates to ASCE 7 and the Impact on Equipment Standards

May 30, 2022

The recent changes made to ASCE 7 will have a trickle-down impact on API and ASME codes, plus the International Building Code (IBC). In this article, Derek Slovenec and Joel Andreani discuss the most significant load changes (seismic, wind, tornado, snow, and rain) and the potential impact on ASME and API standards that reference ASCE 7.

Level Measurement in Mature Atmospheric Storage Tanks

Apr 26, 2022

Mature storage tanks were typically constructed between 1950 to 1970. As the installation of remote monitoring solutions increases in mature tanks, maintenance personnel must start addressing the best way to make the required change or addition. In this article, Bart Smith explores the history of tank level management and measurement techniques and provides recommendations for updating instrumentation to improve safety and reliability.

A Methodology for Difficult Level Application Evaluations

Apr 26, 2022

Harsh process conditions, extreme material properties, or limited infrastructure are contributing factors to difficult level applications. By implementing a consistent methodology for difficult level applications, you will achieve high uptime and system reliability. In this article, Melissa Westbrook outlines a simple documentation and methodical analysis to support new or existing instrumentation at your facility.

Aboveground Storage Tank Overfill Prevention – Updated Standards, Regulatory Focus, and E²G Services

Mar 29, 2022

This article discusses how the combination of the changes in the fifth edition of API 2350, Overfill Prevention for Atmospheric Storage Tanks in Petroleum Facilities (2020), and the adoption of this standard by various regulatory bodies has put additional requirements for overfill prevention on owners/operators of AST facilities.
