Latest techniques to determine the fitness-for-service of operating tanks, vessels, piping systems and pipelines; and make cost-effective run-repair-replace decisions based on the principles of API recommended practice 579 "Fitness-for-Service" Balanced approach between the fundamental technical principles of structural integrity, stress and fracture analysis, and their practical application to field conditions Provides the participants with the tools necessary to recognize and assess defects in pressure vessels, storage tanks and piping Presents and applies the fundamental rules of the ASME code to operating equipment and systems
Objectives
At the end of the course, participants should:
Technical basis for reliability-based (risk-based) evaluation of remaining life
Participants will be able to evaluate the structural integrity of corroded or damaged equipment
Applies the step-by-step 3-level approach of API/ASME 579 to evaluate inspection results, recognize potential failure
