\n\n\nIdentify the governing product, construction or in-service requirements and their adopted editions. Record which examination and acceptance references they invoke; do not assume that standards from different applications are interchangeable.
\nCheck the status of annexes, appendices and referenced documents in the applicable edition. Resolve proposed departures through the authority responsible for the work; the route depends on the governing requirements.
\nConfirm the personnel qualification and authorisation requirements invoked for this work. Record who performs the examination, who reviews the results and who has authority to decide disposition. These responsibilities are not identical in every scheme.
\nDescribe each indication using the characteristics required by the examination procedure. Apply the specified acceptance rules within the authorised scope and refer unresolved findings to the responsible technical authority.
\nFor the review, retain the applicable procedure revision, personnel authorisation, equipment checks, location references and examination results. Ask the customer which additional evidence and approvals the contract requires.
\n\nAPI RP 571 enumerates damage mechanisms in refining + petrochem service. For marine + offshore, the dominant mechanisms include: sulfidation (API 571 §4.4.2), naphthenic-acid corrosion (§4.4.6), high-temp H2 attack / HTHA (§4.5.1), amine-stress corrosion (§4.5.4), sour-water cracking (§5.1.3), CUI / corrosion-under-insulation (§4.3.4), MIC / microbiologically-influenced corrosion (§4.3.8), erosion-corrosion (§4.2.14), and chloride stress corrosion of austenitic SS (§4.5.1.4). Atlantis NDT Level III consulting (consult here) maps each circuit to its dominant mechanism + recommends method.
\nRBI per API RP 581 decomposes consequence + likelihood for marine + offshore equipment: (1) Generic Failure Frequency (gff) by component class; (2) Damage Factor (DF) per active mechanism; (3) Inspection Effectiveness Factor (A-E) based on prior inspection thoroughness; (4) Consequence — Financial + Safety + Environmental.Atlantis ERP for live data.
\nWhere findings require engineering assessment, the responsible integrity team must define the assessment scope, necessary measurements and applicable methodology. Atlantis NDT can discuss examination evidence; it does not provide an engineering fitness-for-service assessment.
\nAtlantis NDT delivers integrated stack for marine + offshore operators: Atlantis ERP (NDT reports, technician certificates, crew dispatch and equipment calibration), Digital Twin platform (3D asset model with overlaid damage-mechanism heat-map), Reporting Software (offline mobile capture with code-aligned templates), and Atlantis NDT LMS (continuous inspector cert refresh per marine + offshore-specific scope). Affordable, accessible, fully customizable.
\nA: Every inspection, procedure revision, inspector qualification record and calibration certificate is timestamped with reviewer approval recorded in Atlantis NDT ERP, and kept for the period the governing code, regulator or client requires. That is the evidence an ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17020 or ISO/IEC 17025 auditor asks to see.
\nA: Atlantis NDT delivers vertical-specific procedure packs + inspector cert rosters + asset-integrity playbooks. Free 30-min discovery call scopes your specific asset class + damage mechanisms + code requirements + delivery model preference.
\nAutomation needs a documented scope, representative performance evidence and an agreed review process. Confirm whether the governing examination requirements permit the proposed technique. A software feature or general risk-planning standard does not establish code acceptance.
\nA: 4-20 weeks depending on team size + scope. SMB: 4 weeks. Mid-size: 8-12 weeks. Enterprise multi-region: 12-20 weeks. Atlantis NDT delivers phased rollout with clear milestone gates.
\nA: No — pricing varies by region, scope, delivery model, and team size. Atlantis NDT is positioned as affordable, accessible, and fully customizable. Free 30-min consultation + tailored quote.
\nA: Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Free integration scoping consultation.
\nA: Request a free 30-min consultation at /contact. We reply within one business day. We scope your asset class + damage mechanisms + code requirements + delivery model preference + integration needs in a single call.
