What are the basic regulatory requirements for cased pipe monitoring and inspection and what code sections apply?
Cased pipe that is located in a covered segment, as defined in 49 CFR § 192.7, must have an integrity baseline assessment and periodic reassessments using one of the assessment methods. Under the Integrity Management Rule, operators cannot leave shorted, contacted or coupled casings (either metallic or electrolytic) in their pipelines or segments without mitigating the situation. Such a condition (shorts, contacts or couples) is considered detrimental to the long-term integrity of the covered segment. • FAQ-249. Incorrect Pre-Assessment Data: If an operator creates regions based on pre-assessment data and during the direct examination determines that construction documentation was incorrect and the cased pipe should have been in a different region, does the operator have to perform additional direct examinations on cased pipe in that region? For example, an uncoated carrier pipe was documented as being coated, or an unfilled casing was documented filled. [03/01/2010]Answer: Implicit in
