• The main objective is to engage the SSE for AUDIT and inspections for the activities of the
Industries/Contractor.
• In service Inspections accordance with the “Guidelines for Inspection of In-service Industries
piping systems in the Royal Commission Pipeline Corridors”.
2) SCOPE OF AUDIT
Auditing all Industries piping system that are located in the Royal Commission Pipeline Corridors in
yanbu. An audit is a simple procedure to identify operational and design non-compliances. It consists
of two basic audits:
Gather data from pipeline corridors user (this is the most important part of the process),
1. API 570 Piping inspection code: In-service Inspection, Rating, Repair, and Alteration of piping
systems.
2. API RP 574 – Inspection of piping system components
3. Royal commission Engineering Manual, section 11.48
4. ASME B 31.3. Process piping
5. API RP 578 – Material verification of new and Existing piping systems
6. API RP 750 –Management of process Hazards
7. API 598 – Valve Inspection and Testing
Pipe line inspection History, NDT report (TML-UTG Report) if any special NDT report (ECT,
Intelligent pigs) CUI report. Pipeline design records, Pressure test records.
Pipelines are surveyed, maintained and monitored according to a code previous surveys and
surveillance, any Modification records is required.
3.4-Design data
Pipeline basic design parameters, and a complete pipeline route, Operational pressure records,
viii. Pipeline inspection and maintenance records. Verification of design parameters for the whole
pipeline following example
1) Pipeline number
2) Identification color coding and marking
3) Pipeline route map and P&ID
4) Operation parameters – operating pressure and pressure fluctuations, operating
temperature.
5) Pipeline test records

time)
4) ANALYSIS
All the pipeline data review and compare to the sectional code and operational comparison.
5) REPORT
All the pipeline data review and compare to the sectional code and Royal commission Engineering
manual, complete the audit checklist and audit report. Summarizing the audit findings issue the
audit report to concerned industry and forward to the audit coordinator.
6) ACTION
The data are analysed and verified, and checked against code and company requirements. Non-
compliances are highlighted and reported to the operator for action.
Review the all Database of Pipeline, Route and Plant Identify all Hazards, Estimate Failure
PROBABILITY, Estimate Failure CONSEQUENCES and Calculate Risk and Recommendation to Pipeline
corridor users industries.

Notes:-
CLASS 1
1) on-site hydrocarbons that will slowly vaporize during release such as those operating below
The boiling point but above the flash point
2) on-site hydrogen, fuel gas, and natural gas
3) on-site strong acids and caustics
CLASS 3
1) on-site hydrocarbons that will not significantly vaporize during release such as those
Operating below the flash point
2) off-site distillate and product lines to and from storage and loading
3) tank farm piping
4) off-site acids and caustics
5) off-site hydrogen, fuel gas and natural gas
6) Other lower risk hydrocarbon piping
CLASS 4
a) Leaks.
1) Process.
2) Steam tracing.
3) Existing clamps.
b) Misalignment.
1) Piping misalignment/restricted movement.
2) Expansion joint misalignment.
c) Vibration.
1) Excessive overhung weight.
2) Inadequate support.
3) Thin, small-bore, or alloy piping.
4) Threaded connections.
5) Loose supports causing metal wear.
d) Supports.
1) Shoes off support.
2) Hanger distortion or breakage.
3) Bottomed-out springs.
4) Brace distortion/breakage.
5) Loose brackets.
6) Slide plates/rollers.
7) Counterbalance condition
