API 578, officially API Recommended Practice 578 (API RP 578), is a standard from the American Petroleum Institute (API) that

provides guidelines for a Material Verification Program (MVP) to confirm the correct chemical composition of alloy materials in new and existing process piping systems within the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries

. Its purpose is to prevent accidents and equipment failures caused by incorrect or mixed-up materials by emphasizing the use of Positive Material Identification (PMI), helping to ensure the safety and integrity of critical assets.

Key aspects of API RP 578:

Purpose:
To establish a quality assurance system for material verification to prevent the use of wrong materials, which can lead to accelerated corrosion or component failure.
Scope:
It applies to ferrous and nonferrous alloy materials used in new and existing process piping systems and equipment.

Our integrity management group evaluates the probability of a failure on a pipeline system and storage tanks, and the consequences of such a failure, including: risk assessment, integrity assessment, risk mitigation, performance measures, management of change, communications and quality control.
