CMLs
CMLs are specific areas along the piping circuit where inspections are to be made.
The minimum thickness at each CML can be located by ultrasonic scanning or radiography.
The rate of corrosion/ damage shall be determined from successive measurements and the next inspection
interval appropriately established.
CMLs should be marked on inspection drawings and on the piping system to allow repetitive measurements
at the same CMLs. This recording procedure provides data for more accurate corrosion rate determination.
Careful identification of CMLs and examination points are necessary to enhance the accuracy and
repeatability of the data.

Inspection Intervals
The owner/user or the inspector shall establish inspection intervals for

thickness measurements and external visual inspections and, where applicable,
for internal and supplemental inspections.

throttling service because the soft-seats are subject
to erosion or distortion/displacement caused by fluid
flow when the valve is in the partially open position.

conservative..
RSFa = 0,90
