we starat put aplan to inspect all STEEL STRUCTURES (vessel suport ,pipe rack,and all supports)
so the code for s.s awsd1.1 and iso 1721-1-2
put these for erected welding not for inspection
we use the API RECOMENDATION AND INSPECTION LIKE API 574 ,570,
BUT CAN ANY ONE PROVIDE US WITH THE CODE FOR S.S INSPECTION

I have not seen vessel supports, pipe racks, etc of stainless steel (SS), evidently because of their high cost.
Thames river bridges are Carbon steel (CS), protected from corrosion through proper paints.
So be sure structures under inspection concern SS and not a special grade of CS.

Nevertheless industrial SS structures are not impossible. Just some hints that might be useful or not:
http://www.euro-inox...htm/p_4_EN.html (needs some patience)
EN 10088-1 : 2005 refers to concrete armored through SS

Of course these refer to European standards. If you want US standards, you have to search for corresponding US codes after you have located the European ones.

Sorry not to be able to be specific
