Webinar: Updating Structural Minimum Thickness Values per API 574

Updating Structural Minimum Thickness Values per API 574
Thursday, October 17, 2024 11AM-12PM EDT
Presenters: Kraig S. Shipley, P.E., Piping & Fired Heaters; Principal Engineer II; Anthony J. Feller, Group Head; Senior Engineer II

To manage piping systems for safe operation, an active mechanical integrity program needs to focus on piping inspection and provide guidance on acceptable limits for the piping thickness readings being obtained. Unlike vessels, piping required structural minimum thickness is not solely governed by stress due to pressure only but can also be governed by external loading on the piping system due to various sources.  This webinar will provide background on recent work completed by E²G to establish structural minimum thickness values for piping with documented assumptions and methodology; and how results compare with existing structural minimum thickness provided in API 574.

What You Will Learn: 

• Background of existing structural minimum thickness values in API 574
• Methodology for proposed updates for API 574 structural minimum thickness values
• Assumptions and their impacts on study results
• Overview of results and conclusions

Who Should Attend: 

• Piping engineers
• Piping inspection personnel
• Users of API 574 or anyone interested in gaining knowledge to the background of API 574 structural minimum thickness values
