Optimizing Inspection Planning: The Critical Role of Damage Mechanism Reviews and Integrity Operating Windows

MISTRAS Group, April 30, 2025

Webinar Overview

Risk-based inspection (RBI) is a key strategy for maintaining the reliability and safety of fixed equipment and piping in processing facilities. Damage mechanism reviews (DMRs) are crucial components of RBI, providing essential insights into expected corrosion rates, damage mechanisms, and failure potentials—directly influencing inspection planning and prioritization. Integrity operating windows (IOWs) further enhance RBI by establishing process parameters for safe operating conditions between scheduled inspections, allowing for proactive asset management. To ensure safe and reliable operations, these tools are essential for planning inspections with the optimal frequency, coverage, locations, and techniques to find expected damage.

Inspectioneering teams up with MISTRAS Group for our webinar, “Optimizing Inspection Planning: The Critical Role of Damage Mechanism Reviews and Integrity Operating Windows.” During this webinar, the presenter will provide expert insights into:

  • DMR readiness, data collection, and data integrity
  • Best practices for conducting DMRs and developing IOWs
  • How DMR results impact inspection frequency, location, and technique selection
