For marine + offshore, the dominant mechanisms include: sulfidation (API 571 &#xA7;4.4.2), naphthenic-acid corrosion (&#xA7;4.4.6), high-temp H2 attack / HTHA (&#xA7;4.5.1), amine-stress corrosion (&#xA7;4.5.4), sour-water cracking (&#xA7;5.1.3), CUI / corrosion-under-insulation (&#xA7;4.3.4), MIC / microbiologically-influenced corrosion (&#xA7;4.3.8), erosion-corrosion (&#xA7;4.2.14), and chloride stress corrosion of austenitic SS (&#xA7;4.5.1.4). Atlantis NDT Level III consulting (<a href=\"/consulting/ndt-consulting-level-iii\">consult here</a>) maps each circuit to its dominant mechanism + recommends method.</p>\n<h2>RBI per API 581 &#x2014; Risk-Driver Decomposition</h2>\n<p>RBI 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 &#x2014; Financial + Safety + Environmental.</p>\n<h2>FFS per API 579 &#x2014; When + Why</h2>\n<p>Where findings require engineering assessment, the responsible integrity team must define the assessment scope, necessary measurements and applicable methodology.
