This standard practice provides guidance on selecting and implementing the Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM) methods (i.e., technologies and processes) to assess and to mitigate threats to pipeline integrity. Predominant threats to pipeline integrity are external corrosion (EC), internal corrosion (IC), stress corrosion cracking (SCC), mechanical damage (first, second, and third party or vandalism), equipment malfunctioning, manufacturing anomalies, construction anomalies, incorrect operations, weather-related, and external forces. The standard is focused on the “selection” and “implementation” of methods and best practices to manage pipeline integrity, but not necessarily on defining all aspects of PIM programs.
