The purpose of this document is to provide recommended practices for an owner/operator to develop and implement a material verification program (MVP) as part of an asset integrity program. The MVP uses positive material identification (PMI) and other testing and administrative methods to verify that the nominal composition of an asset, an asset component, or weldment (or any other tested item) is consistent with the selected or specified construction materials.

A well-designed and well-implemented MVP is an important management system used to minimize the potential for release of hazardous substances due to nonconforming materials of construction.

The purpose of this recommended practice (RP) is to provide the guidelines for a material and quality assurance system to verify that the nominal composition of alloy components within the pressure envelope of a piping system is consistent with the selected or specified construction materials to minimize the potential for catastrophic release of toxic or hazardous liquids or vapors.

This RP provides the guidelines for material control and material verification programs on ferrous and nonferrous alloys during the construction, installation, maintenance, and inspection of new and existing process piping systems covered by the ASME B31.3 and API 570 piping codes. This RP applies to metallic alloy materials purchased for use either directly by the owner/user or indirectly through vendors, fabricators, or contractors and includes the supply, fabrication, and erection of these materials. Carbon steel components specified in new or existing piping systems are not specifically covered under the scope of this document unless minor/trace alloying elements are critical to component corrosion resistance or similar degradation.

A well-designed and implemented MVP is an important management system used to minimize the potential for the release of hazardous substances due to nonconforming materials of construction.

This RP provides the guidelines for material verification programs involving ferrous and nonferrous alloys during the construction, installation, maintenance, and inspection of new and existing process equipment. This RP applies to metallic materials purchased for use either directly by the owner/user or indirectly through distributors, fabricators, or contractors, and includes the supply, fabrication, and installation of these materials.

This RP applies to all refining and petrochemical industries, and may be applied in other industries and/or businesses at the discretion of the owner/user. It is intended to be applied by any owner/user wishing to verify and/or validate that the materials of construction received, fabricated, and/or installed are in accordance with material and/or company specification(s).
