An API inspection code that establishes requirements for the inspection, repair, alteration and rerating of in-service piping systems.
API 570 is an American Petroleum Institute inspection code that defines the minimum requirements for inspecting, repairing, altering and rerating metallic piping systems used in petroleum, petrochemical and related process facilities. The code establishes inspection practices, inspector qualifications, inspection intervals and documentation requirements to maintain piping integrity throughout its operating life.
API 570 supports safe and reliable plant operation by providing a consistent framework for piping inspection, integrity assessment and maintenance planning.
API 570 is frequently applied together with API RP 574 for inspection practices, API RP 580/581 for Risk-Based Inspection and API RP 571 for damage mechanism identification.
API 570 applies to piping systems already in service and complements, rather than replaces, piping design codes such as ASME B31.3.
