Note:
1. This document shall be used by Inspectors as a guide for inspecting the in‐service process piping and pressure equipment.
2. This document defines typical Corrective Action Priority and Recommended Corrective Action for the anomaly relying on visual inspection only. It does not apply to wall thinning and welding/surface defect caused by
either from fabrication or operation.
3. Specific Corrective Action Priority and Recommended Corrective Action may change on case‐by‐case basis depending on inspector's judgment.
