during the process of use and it confirms that such defects are caused
by improper use of material, it may be rated as grade 3 or grade 4;
(2) When material is unknown, if the inspection does not reveal new defects
(excluding normal uniform corrosion) and the strength check is qualified

conditions and during the inspection cycle, it may be rated as grade 3; if
it produces irreparable defects or damage, according to the degree of
damage, it is rated as grade 3 or grade 4;
(4) When the hardness value in the wet H2S environment exceeds the
standard, meanwhile the hardness value of the welded joint of carbon-
steel and low-alloy steel piping exceeds HB200 but no stress corrosion
occurs, if the inspectors believe that stress corrosion will not occur in the
next inspection cycle, it may be rated as grade 2 or grade 3; otherwise it
is rated as grade 4.

When finding the presence of defects which need to be handled during
inspection, the inspection institute may issue the “Notice on the periodic
inspection opinions for special equipment (2)” (see Appendix C), notice the
inspection conditions to the user organization. The user organization is
responsible for entrusting the organization with corresponding qualifications to
