Objectives

To improve safety, reliability, and minimize liability of fixed equipment by learning common damage mechanisms in the oil upgrading and refining, petrochemical, power generating, and other related industries, as covered in API RP 571-2020 and ASME Construction Codes are the primary objectives. The roles of the engineer, inspector, and NDE examiner in identifying affected materials and equipment, critical factors, appearance of damage, prevention and mitigation, inspection and monitoring will be covered while introducing the fundamental science and engineering concepts of service-induced metal deterioration and failure mechanisms. Topics covered in this course will also assist API 571 ICP exam candidates preparing to write the certification examination.

Who Should Attend

Engineers, inspectors, designers, and experienced maintenance personnel who are involved in designing, operating, maintaining, repairing, inspecting and analyzing pressure vessels, piping, tanks and pipelines for safe operations in the oil upgrading and refining, petrochemical, power generating, and other related industries. As an option, this course will also assist API RP 571 ICP exam candidates preparing to write the certification examination (at no additional charge).

Professional Development Hours (PDHs)

Each participant will receive a digital CASTI Certificate of Completion with 32 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for attending all 4 days of the scheduled training.
