A HEP program put in place for overall life management is not synonymous with an inspection program, although inspections are an important part of an overall program. Inspections should be used in conjunction with analytical tools, real time monitoring, and laboratory examinations. The overall approach is life management â not inspection management â of the equipment.
This paper describes a HEP life management approach which includes identifying locations of interest, risk-ranking those locations, implementing a plan for determining the health of the highest risk locations, and taking actions based on the system health that has been determined. This paper also presents and discusses some of the requirements of the B31.1 code, which at the highest level states that each operating company shall develop operation and maintenance procedures for piping systems deemed necessary to ensure safe facility operations based on the provisions of the code, relevant industry experience, the operating companyâs experience (and knowledge of its facility), and the conditions under which the piping systems are operated.
