PMI SPECIALISTS, INC "WHEN YOU NEED TO KNOW"
Why PMI Testing
According
to the Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA), National Emphasis Program (NEP), and the
American Petroleum Institute (API) PMI Testing & Inspection
reduces or eliminates workplace hazards associated with catastrophic
release of highly hazardous chemicals.
Studies
show that in Petrochemical & Refinery
facilities almost half of the largest losses are a direct result of
failures in piping systems. Relying on spot checks is unacceptable in
today’s litigation prone environments. The potential impact to the
overall safety of employees and the bottom line to companies is
significant. For critical components, 100% PMI has been the best
practice. Guidance of doing PMI had been written in various
industrial standards, such as API RP-571, API RP-578 and API
RP 939-C.
PMI Testing also ensures traceability of components from manufacturing process to final assembly.
