PIPING
3.1
3.2.1
For straight portion of piping sections, thickness survey shall be carried out at two locations at
both ends when the straight portion exceeds 500 mm (total of 8 spots). In the case of double
random length pipes, if the straight portion of the pipe exceeds 6m, thickness readings at one
more locations at the center of the straight portion shall be taken in addition to the two
locations already mentioned (total of 12 spots). Thickness measurements shall be carried out
at 4 diametrically opposite spots at each of the locations identified as above.
