What are equipment/inspection strategies in relation to mechanical integrity (MI) and risk based inspection (RBI)? It is a simple answer, but can be complicated to produce a documented set. API RP 581 has gone as far as the RAGAGEP can go since it is up to the Owner/User to define them as they are responsible for their risk. Knowing strategy/effectiveness tables are likely to be used without modification therefore AOC created a set that can be used as inspection recommendations out of the box.

What are the requirements of API 580, 4th edition? It can be tedious sorting out the "shalls" from the "shoulds". Fortunately, our training team has been kind enough to do this for us. But don't tell them I told you.
