What is the ISM module?
The Indirect Survey Manager (ISM) is a module within the Pipeline Compliance System (PCS), the industry leader in managing compliance information for natural gas, hazardous liquids, and other pipeline systems. ISM manages and aligns External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) indirect inspection data, ensuring requirements in DOT 49 CFR, Parts 192 and 195 are met including the expanded PHMSA Mega Rule requirements.
- Close Interval
- DCVG (Direct Current Voltage Gradient)
