1. SCOPE The Scope of API RP 574 covers recommended inspection practices for piping, tubing, valves, (not control valves) and fittings. Specialty items can also be inspected to RP 574. 2. REFERENCED CODES Explanation (Not in RP 574): In the design and planning stages of a system or assembly, engineering assigns a code/class designation to components based on the medium, pressure, temperature and intended service, e.g. safety, primary cooling or heat removal, etc. A code consists of a set of rules of procedure and standards of materials designed to secure uniformity and to protect the public interest in matters such as building construction, established usually by a public agency. A standard is something that is established by a recognized authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example to be followed. These two terms have become almost interchangeable.
