Whether you are attending the June meeting or looking for technical guidance on fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments, bolted flange integrity, pressure equipment repair, or risk-based inspection (RBI) planning, Equity Engineering’s subject matter experts are ready to help.
The API/ASME Fitness-for-Service Joint Committee (FFSJC) and the ASME Post-Construction Committee (PCC) will hold their first-ever combined meeting June 1–5, 2026 at the Houston Marriott West Loop. The event is free and open to the public.
The week includes working committee meetings, technical presentations, and learning sessions across multiple tracks. The committees collectively maintain standards that are foundational to pressure equipment integrity work:
- API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 — Fitness-for Service
- ASME PCC-1 — Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange Joint Assembly
- ASME PCC-2 — Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping
- ASME PCC-3 — Inspection Planning Using Risk-Based Methods
Together, these documents cover the full lifecycle of aging pressure equipment: assessing whether it can continue operating, determining how to repair it when necessary, and planning inspections to catch problems early.
This event is relevant to anyone working with pressure-containing equipment, including inspectors, plant engineers, operators, maintenance supervisors, central engineering personnel, consultants, and regulatory personnel. Attendance is encouraged across all experience levels.
Equity engineers have been involved in the development and maintenance of API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 since its inception, and our staff regularly participate in FFSJC committee activities. If you are attending Code Week and would like to connect, or if you have questions about how these standards apply to your equipment, reach out to our team.
