API 570 and API 574 are essential resources for professionals involved in piping inspection systems.
API 570, known as the Piping Inspection Code, is a mandatory guideline focused on the dos and don’ts of in-service inspection, rating, repair, and alteration of metallic and fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) piping systems, including their pressure relieving devices.
The latest edition, the 5th Edition, was released in February 2024.
It is important to note that API 570 does not cover procedures for decommissioned piping but does address piping systems that are temporarily out of service and may be recommissioned.
API Recommended Practice 574 complements API 570 by outlining the best inspection practices for piping system components. This document serves as a crucial guideline for piping inspectors during their inspections.
For those preparing for the API 570 exam, it is vital to focus on both documents, as they share similar vocabulary and topics. Approximately 50% of exam questions are derived from these two resources alone.
