According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), National Emphasis Program (NEP), and the American Petroleum Institute (API) PMI Testing & Inspection reduces or eliminates workplace hazards associated with catastrophic release of highly hazardous chemicals.

Studies show that in Petrochemical & Refinery facilities almost half of the largest losses are a direct result of failures in piping systems. Relying on spot checks is unacceptable in today’s litigation prone environments. The potential impact to the overall safety of employees and the bottom line to companies is significant. For critical components, 100% PMI has been the best practice. Guidance of doing PMI had been written in various industrial standards, such as API RP-571, API RP-578 and API RP 939-C. PMI Testing also ensures traceability of components from manufacturing process to final assembly.
