Inspection Training Courses

API 510: In-service pressure vessel inspection -Training

An API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector is expected and must have a broad knowledge base relating to maintenance, inspection, repair, and alteration of pressure vessels. The API 510 examination is designed to determine if inspectors have such knowledge.

This certification course and training program enhances inspector expertise and benefits clients and the industry by:

  • Providing management & control of pressure vessels in process operations, repair, and maintenance
  • Reduce the pressure vessels inspection delays and avoid overdue.
  • Provide a continued high level of vessel integrity by involving certified inspectors.

The course module is designed to be interactive and engaging, with actual industry related examples and scenarios. We have extensive background in both inspection AND training and know how to ensure our students maximise their knowledge and their chance of passing first time of taking the exam.

Course Module:

  • Corrosion rates and remaining life calcualtions
  • Vessel Joint efficiencies
  • Static head calculations
  • Calculation of minimum thickness for internal pressure
  • Calculate maximum allowable working pressure
  • Pressure testing procedures and calculations
  • Welding procedure specification and Procedure Qualification record PQR review
  • ASME V Non-Destructive Testing procedures
  • In-service repairs to 510
  • Impact testing requirements
  • Establishing weld sizes for welds at openings
  • Nozzle reinforcement theory and calculations
  • Preheating and PWHT requirements using ASME VIII.
  • Damage Mechanisms as per API 571 (510 selection only)
  • General rules for welding and examination in an API and ASME context.

API 570: In-service Piping inspection -Training

An API 570 Piping Inspector is expected and must have a broad knowledge base relating to maintenance, inspection, repair, and alteration of in-service of pressure piping. The API 570 examination is designed to determine if inspectors have such knowledge.

This certification course and training program enhances inspector expertise and benefits clients and the industry by:

  • Providing management & control of process piping inspection in process operations, repair, and maintenance
  • Reduce piping inspection delays and avoid overdue.
  • Provide a continued high level of piping integrity by involving certified inspectors.

The course module is designed to be interactive and engaging, with actual industry related examples and scenarios. We have extensive background in both inspection AND training and know how to ensure our students maximise their knowledge and their chance of passing first time of taking the exam.

Course Module:

  • Corrosion rates and inspection intervals
  • Weld joint quality factors and casting quality factors.
  • Static head calculations
  • Calculation of minimum thickness for internal pressure
  • Calculate maximum allowable working pressure
  • Preheat and post weld heat treatment
  • Pressure testing procedures and calculations
  • Welding procedure qualification and procedure review
  • ASME V Non Destructive Testing procedures
  • Impact testing requirements
  • Linear thermal expansion calculations
  • In-service repairs relating to 570
  • Damage Mechanisms as per API 571 (570 selection only)
  • General rules for welding and examination in an API and ASME context.

API 571: ICP Corrosion and Materials Certification - Training

This highly recognized and specialized API 571 Corrosion and Materials certification is a validation of the inspectors knowledge on damage mechanisms and corrosion knowledge base.

API RP 571-2020 is the latest edition that describes damage mechanisms affecting equipment in the refining and petrochemical industries. A key first step in managing equipment safety and reliability is the identification and understanding of the various damage mechanisms

Proper identification of damage mechanisms is also required when implementing the API Inspection Codes (API510, API 570, API 653) and in carrying out risk based inspection (RBI) per API 580 and API 581. When performing a fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment using API 579, the damage mechanisms need to be understood and need to be considered when evaluating the remaining life.

The on-line course aims to provide the participants with a thorough understanding of the various damage mechanisms contained in the latest edition of API RP 571-2020 that can affect process equipment, the type and extent of damage that can be expected, and how this knowledge can be applied to the selection of effective inspection methods to detect size and characterize damage. The 66 damage mechanisms to be discussed in this corrosion short course are common to a variety of industries including refining and petrochemical, pulp and paper, and fossil utility.

Course Module:

The course provides participants with the knowledge necessary to pass the exam and includes:

  • Wet H2S cracking
  • Reheat cracking
  • Sulfuric acid corrosion
  • Polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking
  • Dissimilar metal weld (DMW) cracking
  • CO2 corrosion
  • Corrosion under insulation (CUI),
  • Caustic corrosion,
  • Soil corrosion
  • Sulfide stress corrosion cracking
  • Graphitic corrosion
  • Phosphoric acid corrosion
  • Brittle fracture
  • Mechanical fatigue
  • Chloride stress corrosion cracking and many other mechanisms.

API 580: Risk Based Inspections - Training

API welcomes highly specialised inspectors, engineers, other professionals across the entire petrochemical industry to obtain the API 580 Risk Based Inspection certification as a validation of their profound knowledge of Risked Based Inspection (RBI).

RBI has quickly become one of the industry’s premiere instruments and preferred methods of inspection planning. The API 580 certification will add significant value to your professional credentials, demonstrating to your employers and clients that you have obtained a high level of proficiency and understanding in this very important field.

The API 580 training is an on-line only training course. This interactive on-line training provides the study required to take the 580 examination.

The examination is based only on the API 580 document, there are no supporting codes for the ICP examination.

We also offer a practical Riske Based Inspection course for in-company training. Unlike the exam preparation courses, our practical course also includes the methodology covered by API 581. This course will introduce API 580, 581 and 571 and how they compliment each other.

 

This training is self directed through our online portal, expect to be spending around 8 hours per week working through the content. The self directed component does not have ‘lessons’ to attend, the content is followed through on our Learning Management System (LMS) with question sets. This component can be completed to your own schedule, whenever suits you.

Course Module:

The course provides participants with the knowledge necessary to pass the exam and includes:
  • Planning
  • Data and Information CollectionIdentifying Deterioration Mechanisms and Failure Modes
  • Probability of Failure
  • Consequence of Failure
  • The Basic Concepts of RBI
  • Risk Management and Risk Reduction
  • Inspection Optimization
  • Relative Risk vs. Absolute Risk
  • Introduction to Risk-based Inspection
  • Risk Assessment and Management
  • Mitigation
