INSPECTION
The failure of small-bore tubing (SBT) assemblies is one of the largest contributors to unplanned hydrocarbon releases in the oil and gas industry.
It is therefore essential that asset operators regularly inspect and are aware of the condition of the their SBT assemblies.
Why inspect?
Degradation of SBT assemblies, including corrosion occurs over time, resulting in reduced wall thickness. Instrumentation can become damaged in service.
Assemblies are also vulnerable without an effective inspection programme.
Leaks and failures can cause:
Health and safety issues
Environmental contamination
Equipment damage
Lost time production
