This 5 day Piping Inspector course is based on API 570/574, API RP 577/ 578, ASME B16.5/ B31.3 and ASME BPVC Section V/ Section IX. It is to promote the recognition of fitness-for-service concepts to evaluate in-service degradation of piping system. With our approved trainers extensive involvements in the facilities inspection, as well as the practical coaching and mentoring approaches, this course not only prepare the candidates to pass API 570 examination with confident, it will also advance the appreciation of piping facilities and thus to broaden the technical knowledge base in order to avoid unplanned shutdown and reduce expenses!

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

• • API 570:Inspection methodologies, remaining life calculations, degradation mechanisms, repair & re-rating of in-service piping system and relations to ASME codes 
  • ASME Section V:Principles and application of Non-Destructive Examination
  • ASME section IX: Welding & brazing requirements and procedures
  • ASME B31.3:Design review, welding & heat treatment, inspection, leak testing of process piping
  • ASME B16.5: Design & repair of pipe flanges and flanged fittings
  • API RP 571: Damage Mechanisms affecting fixed equipment in refineries, eg. fractures, fatigue, corrosion, sulfidation, MIC, HTTA etc

• • API 574:Inspection practices for piping system components
  • API RP 577:Welding inspection and metallurgy recommended practices
  • API RP 578:Material verification program for new and existing alloy piping systems

This course will specifically benefit Engineers, Supervisors, and Managers from the following disciplines:

• • Mechanical Engineering
  • Inspection
  • Maintenance & Operations
  • Technical & Engineering
  • QAQC
  • and technical personnel with 2-3 years of experience in the management and planning of inspection and maintenance activities of piping system at upstream oil & gas facilities, refineries, process plants and petrochemical facilities.
