Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices to Expedite and Maximize the Value of Fitness-for-Service Assessments
FFS technology is used to optimize run, repair, or replace decisions for equipment containing flaws or defects. API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 (API 579) is the international code that provides Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 FFS procedures to assess various damage mechanisms. This presentation will provide the novice or intermediate experienced FFS practitioner an overview […]
Gulf Coast Lunch & Learn: What’s New in Piping Integrity Management
You’re invited to join us on June 17 for a comprehensive overview of the latest changes in API RP 574 related to structural minimum thickness requirements. Don’t miss your opportunity to hear about the changes from Kraig Shipley, who is technical support for the development of the new structural minimum thickness rules for API 574.
Ongoing Technology Developments in the Fitness-for-Service (API 579-1/ASME FFS-1) Joint Committee
Fitness-for-Service (FFS) technology has significantly evolved since the initial publication of API RP 579 in 2000. With each subsequent edition of the document, there have been significant upgrades to existing technology as well as the introduction of new technology that has proven to provide tremendous value to owner-operators by providing a safe and justifiable means […]
