An Intensive 5-day Training Course
(API Exam Preparation Training)
Damage mechanisms identification, meaning first of all, understanding what kind of damage morphology to be expected in given operating environment, as well as understanding the root cause of the morphology of the damage is the key of the proper implementation of API/ASME in-service inspection codes, such as API 510, API 570, API 653. Furthermore, a proper implementation of any kind of risk-based or risk-informed initiative, such as RBI per API RP 580, ASME PCC-3 or API RP 581 is heavily dependent on expert understanding of the damage potential of the process and prediction of the damage state of the equipment in the future. For the damage found, an FFS assessment using API RP 579/ASME FFS-1 is explicitly requiring that the owner/user provide damage type and damage rate as most important input for equipment qualification and assessment of the equipment remaining life.
During this training course, a number of damage mechanisms will be explained in the systematic manner as presented in the code (API RP 571). Critical factors for each damage mechanisms are elaborated; this knowledge can be utilized in practice to establish proper Integrity Operating Windows or create Corrosion Control Documents, for example. Basic prevention, inspection, and on-line monitoring methods are explored for each damage mechanism.
This KC Academy API RP 571 & Advanced Damage Mechanisms and Material Investigation in the Refining, Petrochemical & Petroleum Industries training course will highlight:
By the end of this API RP 571 & Advanced Damage Mechanisms and Material Investigation training course, participants will learn to:
This training course combines lectures teaching the theory and explaining the background of the damage mechanisms, and then link it to the operational conditions found in the typical petrochemical / refining plant. The lectures are accompanied and illustrated by the real-life examples and, in a number of cases, first-hand experience of the trainer, giving unique transition from theory to practice. Further, the practical workshops will allow the participants to try to combine own professional knowledge and experience with the newly acquired knowledge during the training course in order to be able to solve practical problems.
The organization will increase the professional level of their maintenance and operation excellence, and, ideally achieve the following goals
The participants will gain basic understanding of the various damage mechanisms present in process industry, as well as understand the interaction between the material of construction, operating environment, process fluid and operating parameters. At the end of this API RP 571 & Advanced Damage Mechanisms and Material Investigation in the Refining, Petrochemical & Petroleum Industries training course, the participants will be able to match the inspection and mitigation strategies to the true state of equipment, as well as to be able to recognize the morphology of the damage as such. Participants will gain sufficient knowledge and topic understanding for the successful completion of the API 571 Exam. This certification might put you in the narrow circle of several thousand specialists world-wide.
This KC Academy API RP 571 & Advanced Damage Mechanisms and Material Investigation in the Refining, Petrochemical & Petroleum Industries training course is aimed at engineers and personnel that is involved in designing, operating, maintaining, repairing, inspecting and analyzing pressure vessels, piping, tanks and pipelines for safe operations in the refining, petrochemical and other related industries
On successful completion of this training course, KC ACademy Certificate will be awarded to the delegates.
