Introduction
The API Inspectors Toolbox accelerates project schedules and ensures calculation integrity through the following:
Inspection and data gathering – Users enter the data at the start, and the software performs all of the required calculations. Once loaded, data cascades through to the appropriate calculations and reporting pages. APITB accelerates workflows by simplifying and automating data management. The result is more confidence in data and increased productivity.
Calculating and Analyzing – Items that are missed by in-house methods and spreadsheets too frequently are all covered automatically. The result is consistently higher standards, achieved with more confidence in data and increased productivity.
Code Referencing – Inspectors no longer need to spend hours chasing down information and cross-referencing sources. APITB provides the 510, 570, and 653 codes in a cascading format that is easy to reference and apply. You have immediate access to critical data such as pipe thicknesses and remaining strength. Dozens of files and reference items such as STI, ASME, NBIC, UL, and ASNT-standards are all at your finger tips, along with extensive materials, standards, and calculations libraries.
Formatting and Publishing – As a cloud-based solution, the latest version of APITB does not depend on external applications like Microsoft Access. However, the reporting feature assembles all sections as one file and outputs in PDF and Word document format. What otherwise takes inspectors hours to complete can now be done in minutes with APITB, greatly improving productivity.
Return on Investment – Across the board, inspectors achieve the highest quality and documentation standards in API reporting while reducing the time required to compile a report from days to hours with the API Inspectors Toolbox. For inspectors, the API Inspectors Toolbox is a transformational tool for productivity that provides a significant return on investment.
