Addendum 1
Page 31, Section 5.6.2, second paragraph, last sentence, shall read:

For systemized/circuitized piping, the corrosion rates and remaining life may be determined
statistically per paragraph 6.5.3.

Page 33, Section 5.7.1, first paragraph, fifth sentence, shall read:

Ultrasonic thickness measurements taken on small bore pipe may require specialized
equipment (e.g. miniature transducers and/or curved shoes as well as diameter-specific
calibration blocks); however, Profile RT is typically the method of choice for thickness
measurements on small bore piping.

Page 41, Section 5.13, fourth paragraph, second sentence, shall read:

Critical check valves shall be adequately inspected or tested to provide greater assurance
that they will prevent flow reversals.

Page 46, Section 6.3.4.1, first paragraph, last sentence, shall read:

When pipe service conditions change, pipe classifications and inspection plans should be
reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect the changed operating conditions; e.g. a
hydrocarbon service temperature increase that might change from slowly vaporizing during
a release to rapidly vaporizing during a release.

Page 46, Section 6.3.4.2e, shall read:

Hydrofluoric acid in main and trace acid services per API RP 751.
