Description
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Piping Inspection program is designed to equip individuals with broad knowledge base relating to maintenance, inspection, alteration and repair of in-service metallic piping systems.
This program benefits employers and the industry as a whole by helping to:
• Provide a continued high level of safety through the use of inspectors specialized in
process piping
• Improve management control of process unit inspection, repair, alteration and re rating
• Reduce the potential for inspection delays resulting from regulatory requirements
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course provides participants with the knowledge necessary to:
• Effectively use major codes: ASME B16.5 & B31.3; ASME B&PV Sections V & IX
• Perform all basic piping calculations needed for the API exam
(e.g.tmin, test pressure, MAWP, MDMT, corrosion rates, remaining life, etc.)
• Use API’s requirements during inspection, repairs, and alterations of piping
• Review welding procedures (WPS/PQR) and welder performance qualifications (WPQ)
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Designed for piping inspectors and engineers working in refineries, chemical & industrial plants, gas plants, pipeline terminals, and oil fields.
• Inspection / Mechanical Engineer
• Asset Integrity Engineer
• Material & Corrosion Engineer
• DOSH Officer
• Welding Inspector
• Project Engineer
• QA /QC / NDT Engineer
