Module 12 - Safer Piping

The Safer Piping module instructs the viewers that piping systems typically represent 30 percent of total plant capital costs and that property insurance statistics claim that 40 percent of all major process plant losses are due to piping failures. This is worth repeating 40 percent of all major process plant losses are due to piping failures. 

Institution of Chemical Engineers, Safer Piping —Hazard Workshop Module 012 (available as a training kit with a videotape, 105 35mm slides, a teaching guide, etc. by the IChemE). 

The Safer Piping module sums up the corrosion on piping under insulation as a problem of water ingress on piping with poor surface protection. Engineering, construction, and maintenance recommendations parallel those presented in the heading Corrosion under Insulation offered earlier in the chapter.
