42. As per API 570, in case of normal uniform corrosion, compared to other piping. The thickness
measurements on valves:

are very critical components and essential for reliable operation.
3. Are not routinely taken unless unusual corrosion pattern and thinning is observed
during servicing and repair.
4. Are routinely at twice the frequency of other components because valves are more
expensive items compared to rest of the piping and must be more frequently checked.
