Spool-piece in wrong place/Statutory inspectionA spool-piece was installed in a line, upstream of a flow orifice. For reasons unknown, the wall thickness of the spool piece was never checked in over two years. One sunny day the spool-piece broke and twelve men lost their lives. Lessons learned: 1. Make sure spool-pieces are in the right places (downstream of orifices) 2. Make sure that statutory inspections are carried out. 3. You can pay a helluva price for failing to do so!
