API RP 571 Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry, Third Edition

A comprehensive reference document that identifies damage mechanisms in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and other industrial facilities. While users must assess applicability, its insights support integrity management across multiple standards, including:
a) identification of existing damage or deterioration and anticipated rates of degradation,
b) identification of future damage mechanism susceptibilities,
c) development and maintenance of inspection and monitoring strategies, programs, and plans (e.g., per API 510, 570, and 653),
d) implementation and monitoring of integrity operating windows (IOWs) (see API RP 584),
e) development of corrosion control documents (CCDs) (see API RP 970),
f) implementation of risk-based inspection (RBI) programs (see API RP 580 and 581),
g) conducting fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments (see API RP 579),
h) application of proper examination techniques, and
i) conducting pressure equipment integrity incident investigations (see API RP 585).
