Does SCRA comply with the thickness data management practices recommended in API 510 & 570?
SCRA complies fully with API 510 & API 570 language for statistical analysis of thickness data, which requires that statistical predictions accurately reflect the actual equipment conditions. Since SCRA develops a best-fitting model for the corrosion behavior in each piece of equipment and properly analyzes localized/accelerated corrosion, the remaining life estimates and re-inspection schedules are truly representative of the equipment condition. SCRA runs the statistical and straight-line API 510/570 calculations simultaneously. By default, the more conservative re-inspection schedule is used; however, users may select the SCRA statistical schedule after reviewing the analysis report.
