Certified API 570 Piping inspectors must have a broad knowledge base relating to maintenance, inspection, alteration and repair of in-service metallic piping systems.

API 570, published by the American Petroleum Institute (API), is the recognized industry standard for the inspection, repair, alteration, and rerating of in-service piping systems.

First published in 1993, API 570 establishes the requirements and guidelines needed to maintain the safety and mechanical integrity of piping systems after they have been commissioned.

The primary goal of API 570 is to ensure that piping systems operate safely and reliably, minimizing the risk of leaks, corrosion, and other failures that could lead to environmental hazards, safety concerns, …

Determine if procedure and qualification records are in compliance with applicable ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and any additional requirements of API 570.

API 570 covers inspection, rating, repair, and alteration procedures for metallic piping systems and their associated pressure-relieving devices (PRDs) that have been placed in-service.

API 570 serves as the foundation for ensuring the safety and integrity of piping systems, with Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) posing significant challenges in industrial maintenance.
