When we talk about process safety in refineries and chemical plants, the conversation usually starts and ends with pressure vessels, relief valves, and control systems. But what about the miles of pipe snaking through your facility? But what about the miles of pipe snaking

As the industry moves toward Inherently Safer Design , the ability to mechanically stop a leak from the control room (or automatically via sensors) is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity.

Piping failures account for a significant percentage of Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC) incidents. Yet, for decades, there was no dedicated API standard specifically for identifying which pipes are hazardous and how to isolate them quickly.
