What is ISO 19345-2 on Pipeline transportation systems about?
ISO 19345-2 is an international multi-series standard that covers standardized terminology for non-destructive testing.
ISO 19345-2 defines terms used in eddy current testing. It gives general terminology specifically associated with the eddy current testing such as measurements, the probes used, equipment, application, and evaluation of the measurement.
Who is ISO 19345-2 on Pipeline transportation systems for?
ISO 19345-2 on pipeline transportation systems is useful for:
- Authorities dealing with the oil and petroleum industry
- Oil and petroleum industries
- Manufacturers of petroleum products
- Service providers for the pipeline transport system
Why should you use ISO 19345-2 on Pipeline transportation systems?
ISO 19345-2 addresses the integrity of petroleum and natural gas pipelines transportation systems through their entire life cycle and includes considerations relating to design, construction, and abandonment. This approach helps you in the development and implementation of a holistic and integrated pipeline integrity management program.
ISO 19345-2 is intended to be used by companies that have not yet developed an official program or are developing a program for new pipelines. This document can also be used to guide the continual improvement of existing programs by both operating companies and regulators to evaluate integrity management program effectiveness.
ISO 19345-2 helps you to bridge the gap between life-cycle elements and hence avoids compartmentalizing the pipeline life cycle into essentially independent data and functional silos, which has traditionally been the case. The integrated approach has been developed on the basis of extensive research and examination of best practices and results from pipeline integrity audits worldwide.
