Provides users wth the basic elements for developing and implementing a risk-based inspection (RBI) program for fixed equipment and piping in the hydrocarbon and chemical process industries. RP 580 is intended to supplement API 510, Pressure Vessel Inspection Code, API 570, Piping Inspection Code, and API 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration and Reconstruction. Thse API Inspection codes and standards allow an owner/user latitude to plan an inspection strategy and increase or decrease the code-designated inspection frequencies based on the results of a RBI Assessment.

The purpose of this document is to provide users with the basic minimum and recommended elements for developing, implementing, and maintaining a risk-based inspection (RBI) program. It also provides guidance to owner-users, operators, and designers of pressure-containing equipment for developing and implementing an inspection program.

These guidelines include means for assessing an inspection program and its plan. The approach emphasizes safe and reliable operation through risk-prioritized inspection. A spectrum of complementary risk analysis approaches (qualitative through fully quantitative) can be considered as part of the inspection planning process.

RBI guideline issues covered include an introduction to the concepts and principles of RBI for risk management; and individual sections that describe the steps in applying these principles within the framework of the RBI process, including:

a) understanding the design premise;

b) planning the RBI assessment;

c) data and information collection;

d) identifying damage mechanisms and failure modes;

e) assessing probability of failure (POF);

f) assessing consequence of failure (COF);

g) risk determination, assessment, and management;

h) risk management with inspection activities and process control;

i) other risk mitigation activities;

j) reassessment and updating;

k) roles, responsibilities, training, and qualifications;

l) documentation and recordkeeping.

This recommended practice is intended to provide guidance on developing a risk-based inspection (RBI) program for fixed equipment and piping in the hydrocarbon and chemical process industries. It includes answers to basic questions such as:

RP 580 provides users with the basic elements for developing and implementing a RBI program. It is based on the knowledge and experience of engineers, inspectors, risk analysts and other personnel in the hydrocarbon and chemical process industries.

RP 580 is intended to supplement API 510, Pressure Vessel Inspection Code, API 570, Piping Inspection Code, and API 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration and Reconstruction. These API inspection codes and standards allow an owner/user latitude to plan an inspection strategy and increase or decrease the code-designated inspection frequencies based on the results of a RBI assessment. The assessment must systematically evaluate both the probability of failure and the associated consequence of failure. The probability of failure assessment must be based on all forms of deterioration that could reasonably be expected to affect the piece of equipment in the particular service. Refer to the respective code for other requirements.
