Brief
This course is meant to provide a thorough understanding of the engineering information required for In-Service Pressure Vessel Inspection (API 510), as well as proper preparation for the examination. This preparatory course will cover the fundamentals of pressure vessel design, with a concentration on the API body’s test syllabus. It contains all of the code parts alluded to by the API 510 committee, to the extent that they are required from an inspection standpoint.
This training will clarify the underlying intentions of all code sections, teach participants how to interpret code rulings, and increase their confidence in making judgements. The course includes five key topics: basic pressure vessel design engineering (ASME Sec VIII Div. 1), in-service inspection techniques (API 510/ 572/ 576/ 577), in-service degradation mechanisms (API 571), retirement thickness calculations, and other aspects of Run-Repair-Replace decisions. The participants will receive detailed, illustrated course notes.
Learning Objectives
By completing this course, participants will be able to:
- To familiarize participants with the API 510 Code’s core principles and technical terms.
- To teach participants how to use the API510 Inspection Code in a systematic manner, with a thorough knowledge of the stated and intended requirements.
- Understand the fundamentals of pressure vessel design as well as the regulations for proper manufacturing, inspection, and testing.
- How to conduct pressure testing and certify the results.
- Learn the fundamentals of pressure vessel examination before they are put into service.
- To understand how pressure vessels degrade and suffer damage while in service.
- Calculate corrosion rate, inspection interval, and other vessel inspection parameters.
Mode of Delivery
Training will be conducted via Microsoft Team Meeting or at our Training Center.
Training Timing
Consecutive Saturdays at 09:00 AM to 03:00 PM GST
Material Provided
• Presentation Slides • Study References
Certificate
-
Certificate will be issued upon successful completion of training.
Who Should Attend?
Engineers, managers, inspection employees, plant operational engineers and managers, and those wishing to take the API 510 exam.
People who work as maintenance engineers and technicians, as well as those who troubleshoot plant operations. This training will be valuable to all QA/QC engineers, regardless of whether or not they want to take the API 510 exam.
