1.0 SCOPE
This work procedure describes the extent of NDE examination of piping as referenced
on the marked up inspection isometrics and defines the responsibilities and reporting
routines to be employed, to ensure results recording is performed in a transparent
and consistent manner.
2.0 PURPOSE
This work procedure provides a guideline to:
2.1 Perform the ultrasonic baseline check, ultrasonic corrosion monitoring scan and
corrosion monitoring inspections.
2.2 Provide an in service baseline understanding of the internal condition of pipework

so as to identify concerns and deficiencies during operation and to identify or
focus follow-up mitigation plans.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
3.1 Inspection isometric – Pipework schematic marked up with the test points
requiring NDE inspection.
3.2 Test point – Feature or part of feature where NDE inspection is to be performed in
accordance to a readings procedure outlined in this document.
4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
4.1 Generic test points requiring inspection shall be marked up on the isometric by the
DNV in accordance with the direction of flow.
4.2 The RBI Engineer will verify and identify / mark up locations that require
inspection and identify NDE method which should be applied.
4.3 The Plant Inspectors are responsible for the sustained implementation and
development of this work procedure.
4.4 The NDE Contractors (Danamin or Velosi) are to perform the prescribed
examination and issue inspection report as per Appendix 1 format.
The specific NDE procedure relating to equipment set up, calibration, personnel
qualification etc shall be submitted by the NDE contractor for review and approval
by Carigali Hess, prior to work commencement.
Such documentation issued by the NDE contractor of the client shall consider the
technical and qualification requirements for the scope as described in this
procedure.
4.5 In the case where the prescribed ultrasonic inspection is not possible and an
alternative technique could be used, the NDE Contractor shall advise the Plant
Inspector and the RBI Engineer accordingly.
4.6 The Plant Inspector is responsible to supervise the NDE contractor(s), ensuring
correct location is identified and work procedure requirements are complied with.
4.7 The Plant Inspector shall review all sections of the historical CVI
Inspection/Recommendation Reports and provide updated information
accordingly based on current condition.
Note: If areas have significantly deteriorated or if the Plant Inspector views a

potentially incorrect CVI assessment has been made, the Plant Inspector shall
provide an updated report accordingly.
5.0 WORK INSTRUCTION
Test points will be marked up for ultrasonic corrosion monitoring (CM1, CM2) or
ultrasonic baseline check (BL1, BL2, BL3) and the marked up isometrics will be
issued as a workpack to the Plant Inspector.
The readings procedures per feature type are outlined below.
If the specified location at a test point is deemed significant externally corroded

please provide a partial scan or scan the nearest area without external corrosion -
note that a partial area scan (PA) has been performed in the remarks or a No
Reading Code (ref Appendix 2) – Surface corrosion throughout (SC) or Surface too
rough to take reading (SR) shall be applied.
Where direct thickness reading cannot be obtained, Plant Inspector shall in

conjunction with the NDE contractor estimate maximum pit depth / depth of metal loss
and provide adjacent thickness readings to derive an net remaining thickness.
If an alternative measurement technique can be used the NDE Contractor shall

advise the Plant Inspector and the RBI Engineer accordingly.
If significant indications of internal corrosion or erosion are noted the extent of the
survey shall be extended in consultation with the Plant Inspector and the RBI
Engineer (if required). The Remark / Condition Code (IC) for internal corrosion or (IE)
for erosion shall be applied accordingly.
