Verification and Validation of the Plausible Profiles (Psqr) Method for the Assessment of Corroded Pipelines
The Plausible Profiles (Psqr) method has been proposed as a means for reducing conservativism in a Level 2 Fitness-For-Service (FFS) evaluation of corrosion damage; and is being considered for adoption by both the ASME B31.G and API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 code committees.
Risk-Based Inspection
This API-branded Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) training course gives attendees the basic understanding of RBI principles, recommendations, requirements, and the methodologies of API RP 580 and 581. With a heavy emphasis on API RP 581 technology, students learn how to apply RBI technology to processing equipment by determining the probability of failure, the consequence of failure, […]
Damage Mechanisms
This course provides an overview of the key refining damage mechanisms (DMs) addressed in API RP 571. The course associates each of these DMs with major refining process units, highlighting where these DMs are usually observed. The most common DMs found in the following process units will be presented: crude, fluid catalytic cracking, hydroprocessing, catalytic […]
Repair Strategies and Considerations for Pressure Vessels and Piping
This webinar will discuss best practices and provide a framework for developing practical weld repair strategies for pressure vessels and piping. This webinar will provide a general overview of the process of developing a repair plan and specifically include thermal processing considerations and alternatives to preheat and post weld heat treatment, fillet-welded patch repairs, weld […]
Storage Tanks
The design and analysis of welded storage tanks can involve the application of a number of interrelated requirements of API 650. Application of these requirements may not always be intuitive to personnel responsible for storage tank integrity. This course will provide the attendee a practical understanding of the basics of aboveground storage tank design and […]
Small-bore Piping Vibration Inspection Program Development – Inspection, Measurement, Assessment, Risk Ranking, and Practical Mitigation
Using case studies and examples, this webinar will delve into critical topics such as ideas on how to implement a small-bore connection survey program, starting with locations to focus, survey techniques and measurement strategies, how to assess severity and perform a relative risk ranking of findings, and lastly mitigation of those findings. Attendees will gain […]
