API 570 Piping System Corrosion Rate and Remaining Life Assessment
Anticipate potential corrosion and proactively extend the lifespan of your piping systems
Our comprehensive API 570 Piping System Corrosion Rate and Remaining Life Assessments provide a systematic approach to assessing the corrosion rate, remaining life, and MAWP (maximum allowable working pressure) of your piping systems, ensuring their continued integrity and reliability.
Identifying potential corrosion issues
Our team of API 570-qualified engineers utilises a range of advanced techniques to assess the corrosion rate of your piping systems, including:
-
Analysing NDT thickness data: Reviewing historical and current ultrasonic thickness (UT) readings to identify corrosion trends and predict future corrosion rates.
-
Conducting field UT surveys: Conducting on-site UT surveys to measure the remaining wall thickness of pipes, providing insights into the extent of corrosion damage.
-
Utilising corrosion modelling software: Employing advanced corrosion modelling software to simulate corrosion rates and predict the remaining life of piping components.
Based on the comprehensive corrosion rate assessment, our engineers calculate the remaining life of critical piping sections, ensuring they can operate safely within the specified MAWP. This assessment ensures that your piping systems can withstand the operating conditions without compromising their integrity.

Extending the lifespan of your piping assets
By proactively identifying corrosion issues and calculating remaining life, our assessments help you to:
-
Extend the lifespan of your piping assets: By addressing corrosion early on, you can extend the service life of your piping systems, reducing the frequency of repairs and replacements.
-
Minimize the risk of leaks and failures: Proactive corrosion management helps prevent leaks and failures, minimising potential safety hazards and environmental risks.
-
Optimize your inspection schedule: Our assessments can help you develop a tailored inspection schedule that aligns with the actual corrosion rates of your piping systems, ensuring optimal resource allocation.
-
Save money on repairs and replacements: By extending the life of your piping assets, you can significantly reduce the costs associated with repairs and replacements.
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Surveys with Pulsed Eddy Current Technology
We conduct Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) surveys throughout the UK, addressing one of the most critical integrity threats faced by the oil and gas industry today.
Water ingress can damage pipework and other vulnerable steel components, but preventing corrosion beneath existing insulation materials remains a significant challenge.
The process of removing and reinstalling insulation is labor-intensive, costly, and often unnecessary, as the underlying substrate may still be in good condition. Our API 570 Piping Inspectors manage the entire process, removing only the minimum amount of insulation needed to compile a comprehensive and accurate report.
We use Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) technology, one of the most effective and efficient methods for assessing the severity of CUI with minimal intervention. This approach reduces the need for costly insulation removal and replacement in many cases.
Ensure full compliance with thorough examinations conducted by our fully qualified API 570 Inspectors and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).
