True it may detect it quickly and accurately but I think you would be better sizing with Pulse Echon I suggest you consult the NACE Document of assessment of pressure equipment damaged by HIC. Mikes comment that once the flaws are accurately sized you can employ an engineer experienced in FFS principles such as API RP 579 is very accurate. Be careful HIC and SOHIC was not dealt with in the first edition of RP 579 in a clear manner. You will have to consider whether you are looking at a blister or through wall cracking hence the emphasis on an 'experienced engineer'.                  Reply  Translate  Close   Mike Trinidad Consultant, LMATS Pty Ltd , Australia, Joined Jan 2003, 138 Mike Trinidad Consultant, LMATS Pty Ltd , Australia, Joined Jan 2003 138 05:04 Aug-26-2004 Re: HIC G'Day John Could you tell me the NACE reference, I might get it for a bit of light reading. ToFD gets asked for a lot for this application in the middle east I thought it was based upon a DNV specification but now looking back through information it appears to be a BS standard.
