ASME PTB-12-2017 Guidelines for Addressing Data Gaps and Recordkeeping for ASME B31.4, B31.8 and B31.8S for Pipeline Integrity Management
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
ASME | 2017 | 81 |
This guideline provides a recommendation and potential guidance to address observed gaps in data and recordkeeping practices that are currently prescribed in the ASME pipeline standards B31.8, B31.8S, and B31.4. The authors reviewed pipeline industry standards and standards from other industries to identify potential best practices and lessons learned. The industry needs a go-forward approach that will manage new records and data in a way that will maximize the utility of available records wherever practical, and improve upon record keeping practices for the future to take advantage of modern technology and lessons learned.
