Piping systems operating at pressures and temperatures that present significant safety risks if failure occurs.
High-Energy Piping (HEP) refers to piping systems that operate under elevated pressure and temperature conditions where failure could result in catastrophic release of energy, serious injury, equipment damage or loss of production. HEP systems require enhanced engineering design, inspection, monitoring and integrity management throughout their operational life.
High-Energy Piping programs reduce the likelihood of catastrophic piping failures by applying risk-based inspection, fitness-for-service assessments and rigorous maintenance practices.
High-Energy Piping is commonly associated with high-pressure steam systems and critical process piping where degradation mechanisms such as creep, fatigue and flow-accelerated corrosion require continuous monitoring.
High-Energy Piping is classified according to its operating conditions and potential consequences of failure rather than by piping material or service alone.
