API RP 570 (Piping Inspection Code)

API RP 570 is a set of industry guidelines for inspecting and maintaining the integrity of piping systems in refineries and chemical plants. It helps ensure that pipes are safe, reliable, and free from corrosion or damage that could cause leaks or failures. The code provides procedures for visual inspection, wall thickness measurements, and risk assessment to prevent accidents. By following these standards, facilities can better manage the safety and longevity of their piping infrastructure, reducing operational risks and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
