Available API-U Training Courses
Risk-Based Inspection
This API-Branded, Risk-Based Inspection training course gives attendees the basic understanding of RBI principles, recommendations, requirements, and the methodologies of API RP 580 and 581.
Damage Mechanisms
This Damage Mechanisms training course covers an overview of basic metallurgy and a description of the most common refining processes. Its major focus includes detailed discussions of the key refining damage mechanisms addressed in API RP 571 and examples of equipment damage and failures.
Fitness-for-Service
Equity offers two, introductory FFS courses: one covering all parts of API 579-1/ASME FFS-1, and one covering only the Volumetric Metal Loss sections (Parts 4, 5, and 6). Both courses focus on the Level 1 and Level 2 assessment procedures and offer applications of the methodologies using practical examples.
Pressure Relieving Systems
This Pressure Relieving Systems training course will provide attendees with practical experience involving Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs). This course covers proper sizing, selection, and installation of PRDs to ensure adequate overpressure protection is provided and reduce hazards if a PRD discharges.
