CORROSION/EROSION MONITORING
PROGRAMS
D & C Inspection Services, Inc. offers a complete Mechanical Integrity program or partial corrosion/erosion monitoring program of existing and new piping and equipment. The following services are available for this failure prevention program:
• Perform risk assessment and prioritization for inspections and maintenance planning for pressure containing equipment.
• Predict corrosion rates based on archived thickness measurements.
• Perform process hazards analysis as required by OSHA 29CFR, Chapter XVII 1910.119.
• Verify thickness of plant piping, production equipment, pressure vessels, and tanks using Ultra-sonic thickness equipment. Map thickness readings for all items for permanent record and re-testing as your maintenance program requires.
• Calculate maximum allowable working pressures of equipment and piping based on the thickness recorded.
• Calculate life expectancy of piping and equipment based on archived thickness measurements.
• Arrange replacement of piping and equipment reaching critical minimum thickness requirements without a failure of equipment and unexpected plant shutdown.
• Prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals and gases.
• Computer generated reports and calculations are furnished for easy comprehension of corrosion rates and status of equipment. Reports may be integrated into the records required per OSHA 1910.119.
• Computer and Ultrasonic thickness gauge software can be purchased for compatibility of records retention and archives
