Repair
The work necessary to restore a piping system to a condition suitable for safe operation at the design conditions.
- NOTE: If any of the restorative changes result in a change of design temperature or pressure, the requirements for re-rating also shall be satisfied. Any welding, cutting, or grinding operation on a pressure-containing piping component not specifically considered an alteration is considered a repair. Repairs can be temporary or permanent (see Section 8).

Repair
The work necessary to restore a vessel to a condition suitable for safe operation at the design conditions. If any of the restorative work results in a change to the design temperature, minimum design metal temperature (MDMT), or MAWP, the work shall be considered an alteration and the requirements for rerating shall be satisfied. Any welding, cutting, or grinding operation on a pressure-containing component not specifically considered an alteration is considered a repair.

Repair
A “repair” is meant to be an action to correct a single failure or a few failures, normally on-site. “Overhaul” means a comprehensive repair of several failures, or one major failure requiring extensive work, or complete refurbishment of an equipment subunit. Typically, such maintenance is undertaken in a workshopSource(s).

Repair
Repair means coating restoration work of a longer term nature, usually performed during ship’s dry-docking or scheduled repair period (ship idle) to restore the “FAIR” or “POOR” coating condition to “GOOD” condition. This will usually require specialized manpower and equipment such as sand blasting equipment, operators and dehumidifiers.
