Flare line inspection // external corrosion // pitting measurement // UT thickness measurement

Howdy Eric Nice video. Is there much pressure on a flare line?

[@MrEric_API]

Doug, thanks. No there usually isn't a lot of pressure. The only time the flare line will see pressure is during its emergency use. Then the pipe will see pressure depending on a whole bunch of variables, like pressure, size of pipe of the flare, the flare line, and the piping feeding into the flare system. Most systems change to a larger pipe to allow a pressure drop at the connection. I'll release a video I have of when a flare system has a bunch of gas volume at high pressure dumped. I'll have to adjust the volume though, otherwise it would not be safe for hearing...... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2jUfpd4eJVlqLM

It's nice to be included. This is like csb fieldwork, I like it

Glad you like it!

neat video keep making them the first 1000 subs is the hardest you have very interesting content

[@MrEric_API]

1000? Heh, how about the first 100?

Hi. Very interesting video. Keep uploading inspection videos since it will be useful for someone new me. May I know what is your recommendation to client with the amount of corrosion you have found with the pipe? Sectional replace? Or the pipe is still fit for service?

[@saranyadevi6468]

Very wonderful message sir

[@MrEric_API]

Thank you.

Like that scraper.

My pleasure! Tell your friends, family, and coworkers. MrEric

[@devonsanger1569]

Would you make a recommendation with regards to that SS U-Bolt on CS Piping?

[@MrEric_API]

If I recall correctly the U bolts were zinc coated. MrEric

[@niteshhebsur4529]

Are these pipe run showed in video are supported with tight U bolt/0 gap U bolt, and are these flare lines have high temperatures

[@MrEric_API]

Great question. No, they are supported by the steel structural supports and the U bolts are holding them solid to those supports. The flare piping doesn't get hot per say, as it is supplying gas to the flare, which is burned at the end of or top of the flare. Mr.Eric

[@okaguacharles2943]

Hello Eric, nice video but I would like to know your recommendation on this inspection

[@MrEric_API]

Which one?

[@sahatnawaz9016]

I am doing the ultrasonic thickness of pipe but can you tell me how can i reject the pipe on the basis of thickness or it will be not my headache?

[@MrEric_API]

As a UT/t technician you will provide these numbers to an API inspector to perform tmin &remaining life calculations. MrEric

[@saranyadevi6468]

Please same more vedio uptade sir

[@MrEric_API]

Mr Devi, what do you what to see? More video? Or another video of external pipe corrosion?

[@joseroman4039]

Replace the pipe that section of pipe and reacoat.

[@MrEric_API]

No need to replace, and it never had a coating.

[@saranyadevi6468]

How to identify internal corrosion explain sir please

[@MrEric_API]

Watch upcoming videos for a more in-depth conversation re: this subject. Tell your friends and coworkers to be on the look out also.

[@eliotartigue6705]

Internal corrosion can be found by UT thickness OR profile radiography

What is this job called I am interested in inspection

[@MrEric_API]

Good question. Here is the United States, it is an API inspector. It is the governing organization in many countries in the world. It is the origin of all things oil. The is not the case in all countries however. It varies depending upon which country the activity is in. Many other countries have their own or otherwise different organizations that certify or regulate inspectors and their inspections.

@@arashebadtabrizi1301 well......mostly. It's oil .....and gas. .......and sometimes chemicals....and mining....and agriculture...and...and......and..... There isn't really a limit. I'll inspect anything, just about anywhere. they pay me money to inspect and render either an opinion or a report. That's what I do.
