Api 578-Mock 1

API 578 provides guidelines for a quality assurance program to verify materials used in piping systems. It specifies that a material verification program should be established by the owner/user to confirm the proper materials are used during construction, repairs, and operations of piping systems through methods like visual inspection or portable metal inspection tools. The program involves random material testing of piping components and is intended to prevent substitution of incorrect materials that could compromise the integrity of pressure systems.
