MCI Mission
To manage the plant static equipment integrity
program in accordance with the appropriate
codes, standards and regulations to ensure
reliable and safe operation.
Develop a scheme that will guarantee the safe
use of registered static equipment with its
continued use beyond the statutory inspection
period
Ensure that the equipment is and will be
properly inspected and maintained
Assess the probability and mode of failure
including the remaining life of the equipment
Setup and maintaining comprehensive database
on registered static equipment
Roles & Responsibilities
To carry out inspection of all equipment in
accordance with the applicable codes and
standards.
To classify equipment and allocate appropriate
Inspection Grades to that equipment as
necessary.
To maintain a register of all equipment including
with detailed and comprehensive records of each
item for statutory requirements with DOSH.
To ensure that adequate notice is given when
items of equipment are due for inspection.
To advise the management whenever the
inspection intervals of any item of equipment are
reduced or if abnormal conditions of corrosion
erosion or other form of deterioration are
detected.
Quality Control & Quality Assurance
Process of measuring, comparing & correcting
in accordance with planned requirement
Design Stage
Manufacturing/Fabrication Stage
Incoming Material Inspection

Steps in the material selection process
(1) Analysis of the material requirement
(2) Screening of the candidate materials
(3)Selection of candidate materials
(4) Development of design data
Technical points to be considered I.e tensile
strength, toughness, environmental assisted
cracking, corrosion resistance, weldability,
cost, specific weight etc
Manufacturing/Fabrication

Dye Penetrant Testing
To detect surface discontinuities
Working principle-
Capillary action
into cavities that
open to the surface
Advantages;
1. Portable,simple & fast
2.Able to inspect on a small area
3.Any materials ferrous or non ferrous
4.Not affected by material magnetic properties
5. Any defect size, configuration, internal
structure or chemical composition
6. Orientation of the discontinuity is not a factor
Disadvantages;
1.Detect surface defect only
2.Surface coating, grease, oil and dirt must be
removed
3.Poor or rough surface affects result
4.No information on the depth of the defect
5. Not applicable to porous materials
Working Principle-
Detect the presence of
magnetic fields
leakage from
discontinuities

Magnetic Particle Testing
To detect surface and sub-surface discontinuities
in ferromagnetic materials
Advantages;
1. Simple and fast technique
2. Most sensitive technique in detecting small
surface and sub-surface defects
3. Able to detect surface discontinuities that are
not open to the surface,
4. Able to detect sub-surface crack up to 1.5mm
below the surface
Disadvantages;
1.Cannot detect defects more than 1.5mm below
the surface
2. Applicable only to ferromagnetic materials
3. Thick surface coatings must be removed
Radiography Testing
To detect material defects, structural
discontinuities, using a visual image on the
interior of materials or non-accessible areas

8mm In di c at i o n
Working Principle: The more dense a material
is, the more radiation it will be absorb and the
thicker a material is, the more radiation will be
absorb
Advantages:
1. Results in a form of a picture
2. Good for detecting non-planar defects
3-D : slag inclusion, porosity
4. Shows defects in plan view (2-Dimension)
Disadvantages:
1. Radiation hazard
2. Require access to both sides of specimen
3. Limited by material thickness
4. Not good for detecting planar defects
2-D : cracks, lack of fusion
5.Does not indicate defect depth
Ultrasonic Testing
To measure the thickness of a material or to
examine the internal structure of material for
possible discontinuities such as voids and
cracks.

The use of Ultrasonic to measure the
thickness of a material or to examine the
internal structure of material for possible
discontinuities such as voids and cracks
Advantages
Detects planar and non-planar defects
Able to pinpoint defect location
Not affected by increase in thickness
Require access from one side only
No safety precautions required
No hardcopy of result available
Disadvantages
Specialized skill required - technician

For flaw detection of welds :
normally not suitable for surface and near
surface defect detection (dead zone)
normally not suitable for wall thickness <
3mm
Time of Flight Diffraction

location and position with defects recorded as
permanent image format

RBI is a methodology using RISK to prioritize
and manage inspection plan
Risk Based Inspection
A systematic methodology of evaluating risk and
factoring it into decision concerning how,
where and when to inspect
Risk Based Inspection
A proactive tools that identifies and focus
attention on critical areas of plant
Objectives:
1. To produce effective inspection
programme by focusing on high
risk equipment and eliminating
unnecessary
2. Identifies particular degradation
mechanism and most effective
inspection technique
3. Increased interval between
shutdown and reduced shutdown
inspection scope,therefore
optimize operation and reduce
cost.
4. Fully transparent and auditable
inspection process
Risk Based Inspection
