Piping Inspection Code
The in-service inspection, repair, alteration and rerating code for piping systems. It sets service classes, inspection intervals, CML practice and the rules for repairs on a system already in operation.
This is an explanation, not the standard. AlpineTutor is not affiliated with API and reproduces no part of the document. Always work to the current edition of the standard itself and to your project specification.
