Inspection planning can be performed within the system for piping and pressure equipment by the users by selecting pre-defined high-level reference inspection recommendations (giving inspection techniques and required coverage/scope based on tables available in API RP 581). Different inspection effectiveness/confidence levels as defined in API are:

A – highly effective

B – usually effective

C – fairly effective

D – poorly effective

E- ineffective or no inspection

The software can also automatically prescribe inspections based on the calculated risk level to reduce the future risk below the set risk tolerance level, which can be modified according to client requirements.
