COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-theart simulators. The latest ASME Post-Construction Code is an extension of the current API standards for Risk-BasedInspection (API 580, API 581), Fitness-For-Service assessment (API 579), Damage Mechanisms (API 571) and repairs. They are a practical and important addition to the ASME design and construction codes, their objective is to prevent failures by timely detection and analysis of degraded conditions, and application of the right repair technique. In this highly practical course, participants will learn how to (1) plan inspections, (2) evaluate inspection results and calculate the remaining life of corroded and degraded equipment, and (3) select and implement the right repair by applying the new ASME PostConstruction Codes (PCC). The course will follow the same outline as the ASME PCC Codes, making the course notes a practical and handy reference to illustrate and explain the various requirements of the new ASME PCC codes. Further, the course will review the recommended practices of API 579 and API 571 and how they can be applied on Fitness-for-Service and damage mechanisms affecting process plant equipment.
