Research on Risk‐Based Piping Inspection Guideline System in the Petrochemical Industry

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to create an expert risk‐based piping system inspection model. The proposed system includes a risk‐based piping inspection system and a piping inspection guideline system. The research procedure consists of three parts: the risk‐based inspection model, the risk‐based piping inspection model, and the piping inspection guideline system model. In this research procedure, a field plant visit is conducted to collect the related domestic information (Taiwan) and foreign standards and regulations for creating a strategic risk‐based piping inspection and analysis system in accordance with the piping damage characteristics in the petrochemical industry. In accordance with various piping damange models and damage positions, petrochemical plants provide the optimal piping inspection planning tool for efficient piping risk prediction for enhancing plant operation safety.
