API 570 Questions 19

1. A piping system installed in 1979 with an initial thickness of 0.34" was inspected periodically until 2021. Thickness measurements from 1983, 1987, 1989, and 2021 were 0.33", 0.32", 0.29", and 0.28" respectively. 2. Using the thickness measurements over time, the long-term corrosion rate of the piping system was calculated to be 0.0037" per year. 3. Based on the short-term corrosion rate, the remaining life of the system was determined to be 15 years.
