New e-book to help PHMSA compliance

World 鶹ýӳ,
T.D. Williamson鶹ýӳs new e-book explores how you can comply with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration鶹ýӳs (PHMSA) Integrity Verification Process (IVP) for gas transmission pipelines within days.
This even applies to operators whose current material records 鶹ýӳ essential to meeting PHMSA鶹ýӳs pending regulations 鶹ýӳ are incomplete, or don鶹ýӳt exist at all.
鶹ýӳMaterial identification is a keystone of PHMSA鶹ýӳs new rules, requiring operators to verify the records they use to establish and support the operating pressure limits of pipelines in high and moderate consequence areas,鶹ýӳ says Jeff Wilson, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer for T.D. Williamson.
But what if an operator lacks complete information essential to material identification, like the pipeline鶹ýӳs material grade or chemical composition. Doesn鶹ýӳt that make the task of complying with IVP daunting, expensive, and time-consuming?
Not at all, says Wilson, one of the contributors to the new e-book, IVP. What You Can鶹ýӳt Afford to Miss.
鶹ýӳThis e-book gives operators a simple, succinct way to understand the pending regulation and how it will affect their businesses,鶹ýӳ Wilson says. 鶹ýӳIt also provides insight into how to comply with PHMSA within days, even if you can鶹ýӳt verify the integrity of your pipeline using original construction codes or if the pipe contains flaws, has been damaged, or has aged.鶹ýӳ
To ensure US gas transmission operators are well prepared for the impact of the impending regulation, this IVP e-book also explores:
- Which types of pipes are covered by the new PHMSA regulations.
- What eliminating the grandfather clause means for pre-1970 pipe.
- When to use hydrostatic testing.
- How TDW鶹ýӳs patent-pending, in situ Positive Material Identification process that doesn鶹ýӳt require a shut-down or lower pressure can help operators comply with PHMSA quickly, cost-effectively, and efficiently.
