This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of pipeline and piping inspection, maintenance, repairing & integrity assessment. It covers the pipeline and piping codes, piping and pipeline materials and equipment; piping vibration measurement, analysis and corrective action; the flow induced vibration, slug flow, surge, piping vibration involving control valves and other sources of vibration; the practical methods for evaluating piping vibration; and the measurement and analysis of vibration.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the options for resolving vibration, acceptance criteria and methods of piping vibration damping; the proper examination and testing as well as pressure and leak testing; the degradation mechanisms; the operation and maintenance strategies, procedures and repair techniques; the fitness-for-service and remaining life overview; and the pipeline failure, overpressure, pipeline life extension, system integrity of gas pipelines, risk-based inspections and pipeline integrity management.
