Suitable for:
The course is aimed at plant engineers, non-destructive testing engineers, materials and corrosion engineers, plant inspectors responsible for managing the integrity of ageing process equipment, pipelines, boilers and storage tanks.
It is recommended that attendees have a knowledge of either the inspection, design, fabrication, operation or maintenance of process equipment and piping, as well as some knowledge of the most common pressure equipment design codes/standards.
Course Content:
Extensive overview of API 510 "Body of Knowledge" , inspection intervals, corrosion allowances, joint efficiencies, static head and pressure calculations, impact testing, weld size determination , concepts of reinforcement, degradation mechanisms, remaining life calculations, ASME VIII welding and ASME V NDE requirements.
Course Objectives:
At the end of the course, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the requirements of API 510 "Body of Knowledge"
- Understand the requirements for maintenance, inspection, repair and alteration of pressure vessels
- Review inspection data and determine the internal and external inspection intervals in relation to metal loss, corrosion rates and remaining service life
- Capable of calculating corrosion rates, static head, internal/external pressure and pressure test requirements
- Determine weld size for attachment welds at openings and Nozzle reinforcement requirements
