T.D. Williamson海角吃瓜网檚 new e-book explores how you can comply with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration海角吃瓜网檚 (PHMSA) Integrity Verification Process (IVP) for gas transmission pipelines within days.
This even applies to operators whose current material records 海角吃瓜网� essential to meeting PHMSA海角吃瓜网檚 pending regulations 海角吃瓜网� are incomplete, or don海角吃瓜网檛 exist at all.
海角吃瓜网淢aterial identification is a keystone of PHMSA海角吃瓜网檚 new rules, requiring operators to verify the records they use to establish and support the operating pressure limits of pipelines in high and moderate consequence areas,海角吃瓜网� says Jeff Wilson, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer for T.D. Williamson.
But what if an operator lacks complete information essential to material identification, like the pipeline海角吃瓜网檚 material grade or chemical composition. Doesn海角吃瓜网檛 that make the task of complying with IVP daunting, expensive, and time-consuming?
Not at all, says Wilson, one of the contributors to the new e-book, IVP. What You Can海角吃瓜网檛 Afford to Miss.
海角吃瓜网淭his e-book gives operators a simple, succinct way to understand the pending regulation and how it will affect their businesses,海角吃瓜网� Wilson says. 海角吃瓜网淚t also provides insight into how to comply with PHMSA within days, even if you can海角吃瓜网檛 verify the integrity of your pipeline using original construction codes or if the pipe contains flaws, has been damaged, or has aged.海角吃瓜网�
To ensure US gas transmission operators are well prepared for the impact of the impending regulation, this IVP e-book also explores:
- Which types of pipes are covered by the new PHMSA regulations.
- What eliminating the grandfather clause means for pre-1970 pipe.
- When to use hydrostatic testing.
- How TDW海角吃瓜网檚 patent-pending, in situ Positive Material Identification process that doesn海角吃瓜网檛 require a shut-down or lower pressure can help operators comply with PHMSA quickly, cost-effectively, and efficiently.
