RBI And FFS of Pipeline, Piping, Vessels and Tanks (API 579-580-581) and Repair Practices Training Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
The focus of the course is on predicting degradation in service, setting optimum inspection intervals (API 580-581), projecting remaining life based on generic data corrected for plant specific conditions to determine whether equipment is fit for continued service or should be repaired or replaced (API 579, ASME B31G, etc.).
Who Should Attend?
The course is recommended for process plant and pipeline/piping engineers and inspectors responsible for the initial and continued integrity and cost-effective operation of equipment, piping systems and pipelines
