Updating Structural Minimum Thickness Values per API 574
To manage piping systems for safe operation, an active mechanical integrity program needs to focus on piping inspection and provide guidance on acceptable limits for the piping thickness readings being obtained. Unlike vessels, piping required structural minimum thickness is not solely governed by stress due to pressure only but can also be governed by external […]

From Process Safety Management to Pressure Relief Devices – Do We Ever Connect the Two?
Two groups within a processing plant rarely interact, but each has a vested interest in the reliability of pressure relief devices. The PSM group performs process hazards analyses (PHAs) to determine the required safeguards a process needs to meet the company’s risk target. A major safeguard for reducing risk is the pressure relief device (PRD), […]
High-Temperature Creep Assessment Methodology & Case Studies
FFS assessment of components operating at elevated temperatures in the creep regime can pose several challenges. The results of any assessment are highly sensitive to the key analysis inputs – stress, temperature, time, and material properties. Unfortunately, many times, historical operating process data is required to accurately capture these inputs, and the end results when […]
