PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND


The participants will obtain an in-depth understanding of the ASME B31 code rules and API standards, their technical basis and practical application to field conditions. The program reviews and applies the ASME code design rules, strength and fracture design analysis and acceptance criteria. The participants will be able to recognize causes of degradation in-service, whether mechanically induced (pressure, vibration, fatigue, pressure transients, external damage) or due to corrosion (wall thinning, pitting, cracking) and apply integrity analysis techniques to make run-or-repair decisions.

The participants will review inspection techniques, from the most common (PT, MT, UT, RT, MFL pigs) to most recent (AE, PED, UT pigs and multi pigs), and the implementation of integrity management programs, periodic inspections and evaluation of results. The program will review the various repair techniques, their advantages and shortcomings, and the step-by-step logic to be followed in making repair decisions and selecting the applicable repair.

PROGRAM'S OBJECTIVES
