This inspection code covers inspection, rating, repair, and alteration procedures for metallic piping systems and their associated pressure-relieving devices (PRDs) that have been placed in-service. 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 ongoing integrity of piping systems.This publication does not cover inspection of specialty equipment including impulse tubing, sensory tubing or tubing associated with instrumentation, exchanger tubes, and control valves. However, this piping code could be used by owner-operators in other industries and other services at their discretion.This code does not cover source inspection of newly fabricated pressure piping. However, inspections after new piping systems arrive on-site may still be needed at owner-operator option depending upon quality of shop inspection services and owner-operator specifications during fabrication.
