SUMMARY:API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1 Fitness-for-Service - Volumetric Metal Loss & Planar Flaws
DESCRIPTION:Let’s face it.  Learning all 14 Parts of the API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1 (API 579) Fitness-for-Service International Code can be overwhelming.  Why not focus on the parts of API 579 that are most applicable to the vast majority of your work: volumetric metal loss and planar flaws? This dynamic training session dives deep into the essential elements of the API 579 Fitness-for-Service (FFS) methodology\, with the sole focus on volumetric metal loss in Parts 4-6 and planar flaws in Parts 3 and 9. Whether you’re responsible for pressure equipment. piping\, or atmospheric storage tank integrity\, or simply looking to strengthen your FFS knowledge\, this course delivers practical\, applicable insights you can put to work immediately.

SUMMARY:Piping Vibration
DESCRIPTION:This course combines a rigorous technical overview of measurement and severity analysis of piping vibration from the perspective of plant engineers that are interested in identifying if a problem actually exists\, how it should be evaluated\, and\, if necessary\, how it should be mitigated. Not all piping vibration needs to be addressed; therefore\, this course approaches piping vibration from the mindset of an API 579 Fitness-for-Service assessment and uses numerous case studies and examples to illustrate how assessments should take place. Measurement technologies and their limitations are covered\, including motion amplification\, impact testing\, operating deflection shape assessments\, and single- and multi-channel accelerometer measurements. An overview of the upcoming API 579 Part 15 assessment methodology is covered with a focus on Level 1 and Level 2 assessments\, along with a discussion of its technical basis so the plant engineer can best understand the relevancy and limitations of the methods. Use of the Energy Institute approach to vibration risk identification in the design phase is also covered\, including piping design practices to ensure fatigue-tolerant designs. Many case studies of typical piping vibration problems that Equity has solved in the energy industry are included to illustrate the concepts covered. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of vibration issues they have experienced or are experiencing at their facilities for class discussion.

SUMMARY:Bolted Flanged Joint Integrity: Design\, Evaluation\, and Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Achieving leak-free performance in bolted flanged joints (BFJs) requires more than just tightening bolts—it demands a solid understanding of the mechanics\, design rules\, and assembly practices behind every BFJ. This course demystifies how torque translates to load and how each component contributes to overall joint integrity. Participants learn to apply ASME Section VIII-1 Appendix 2 flange design rules to calculate bolt loads\, flange stresses\, and flange rigidity\, while also understanding the limitations of Appendix 2 with regard to bolted joint reliability. Building on this foundation\, the course dives into ASME PCC-1 and specifically Appendix O to teach proven methods for determining ideal bolt stresses\, identifying limiting components\, and optimizing joint performance. Real-world example problems reinforce key concepts and help participants translate engineering theory into practical field decisions. Attendees will leave with an awareness of how to design\, assess\, and improve BFJs across demanding process environments.

SUMMARY:Application of Risk-Based Engineering to Ammonia Storage Tanks
DESCRIPTION:Determining an appropriate inspection strategy for ammonia storage tanks is complicated by the factors that contribute to ammonia stress corrosion cracking\, primarily the effects of stress over time and exposure to oxygen. As such\, the inspection strategy for ammonia storage tanks should find balance between the need for information and the potential for crack propagation. This webinar will discuss a multi-disciplinary approach to determining an appropriate inspection strategy for ammonia storage tanks. The multi-disciplinary approach utilizes both risk-based inspection (RBI) and fitness-for-service (FFS) to better understand an ammonia storage tank’s susceptibility to ammonia SCC. In addition to an overview of the methodology\, a case study will be shared.

SUMMARY:PDPs: Regaining\, Strengthening and Transferring Process Design Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:What happens when in-house process design and engineering experience disappears and design decision makers walk out the door of your organization?  What if your engineering knowledge didn’t leave with people or third party contractors and every design decision strengthened your organization?  \n\n\n\nFor years\, basic process design and engineering have leaned heavily on external standards and third-party expertise. The result is fragmented in-house knowledge\, uneven designs\, and a growing gap between in-house and contractor design experience.  \n\n\n\nTo address this growing gap and to transfer knowledge and best practices in process design and engineering\, Equity has developed a new set of Process Design Practices (PDPs).  The PDPs join our comprehensive set of more than 1000 Engineering Practices that support a broad range of process industries.  The PDPs ensure consistency\, knowledge transfer\, continuity\, best practices in engineering\, and long-term in-house design control.  They function as design references and training tools\, embedding proven methodologies for equipment sizing\, fluid handling\, heat integration\, safety systems\, and key engineering decisions that shape reliable basic designs\, resulting in retaining critical know-how\, and bringing design ownership back where it belongs. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will explore the content of this new PDP collection and discuss the value of integrating these Practices into your company’s knowledge base\, strengthening self-sufficiency\, continuity\, and engineering best practices.
