Pressure vessels and pressure systems represent high hazard items, the failure of which may have severe consequences. The safe operation of pressure vessels relies on assessment of their condition, which requires inspection for internal degradation. Internal visual inspection (IVI) is widely accepted and understood by asset operators and regulators. Remote internal inspection (RII) uses remote tooling to inspect the internal condition of a vessel without human entry and allows the replacement or deferment of IVI. RII provides operators with key benefits including safety (fewer confined space entries) and financial (increased production uptime and lower maintenance costs). Consequently, RII is considered as an attractive option by many plant operators.

This document is an integrated recommended practice (RP) developed by the HOIS joint industry project (www.hois.co.uk). The RP aims to provide a structured approach to deciding on the suitability of RII, planning and implementing the RII and evaluating the results of the RII. The RP recognises that the application of RII will often be to equipment items where the consequences of failure can be severe and provides a framework for the process so that risks are effectively managed. The RP also recognises that RII can be used to supplement both IVI and non-intrusive inspection (NII) where appropriate.
