Procurement, Installation and
Commissioning.
One time and continuous reviews of
existing procedures and inspection
practices.
Design/Data Sheet review and
PROACTIVE APPROACH
Equipment inspection schedules to
be prepared in consultation with
plant process and TLS.
Specific problematic equipments are
identified for inspection and health
monitoring.
Regular NDTs are carried out on
critical equipments for constant
monitoring.
Development of new materials for
FUTURE PLAN-RISK BASED
INSPECTION(RBI)

Equipments are classified based on


Risk of Failure and Consequence of
Failure.
Process loops will be identified /
classified as Corrosion Loops by a
committee (Process, TLS,Inspection).
Corrosion loops will be identified
based on the corrosion degradation
mechanism involved.
