Hello Gent's

I need a help to specify the requirement for the onstream inspection points (OSI) for monitoring the thickness of stainless piping and vessels under a cryogenic services ( Turbo expander plant). I am not ware of any industrial standard that specifies such requirment and I am proposing not to include any OSI points as a value engineering item. Since in cryogenic services, the ss lines and vessles will be insulated and that the insulatio removable plugs should not be used as there will be a breaking of vapor barrier in case the plug is removed for taking the thickness measurmeent while in operation. I also highly appreciate any suggestions that are based on exissitng facilities.
