PURPOSE & SCOPE OF INSPECTION: This report form and inspection procedure was developed as a guide
for making and reporting field inspection in a thorough and uniform manner. The procedure is intended for
use by operating personnel to the extent that its use satisfies conditions for which an inspection is intended.
More detailed and critical inspections may be ordered to supplement a program of these inspections; if
masts are used in the upper range of their load limits, or if structures may have been subjected to critical
conditions which could affect safe performance. This form is provided strictly as a guide, and the API accepts
no liability whatsoever for its use or scope.
MARKING DAMAGE: At the time of inspection, damaged sections or equipment must be clearly and visibly
marked so that needed repairs may be made. A bright, contrasting spray paint is suggested for this. When
repairs are made, the visible markings should be removed by painting over them. It is also necessary for the
inspector to write "None" when no damage markings are needed, as this is his indication that the item has
passed inspection. It is recommended that inspection be made with assistance of manufacturer's assembly
drawing and operating instructions. For items not accessible or that do not apply, draw a line through the item
pertaining to the component.
