API 570 – Piping Inspection
This 2-day course provides practical training on API 570 piping inspection standards, covering NDT methods, corrosion assessment, and repair planning. It equips engineers and inspectors with the skills to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient piping system operations.
Description
This 2-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of piping inspection practices, aligned with API 570 standards. Designed for engineers, inspectors, and maintenance professionals, it equips participants with skills to assess and maintain piping systems.
Piping systems are critical components in industries like oil, gas, and petrochemicals, requiring regular inspection to prevent failures and ensure safety. API 570 – Piping Inspection is a 2-day course designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and tools to conduct piping inspections per API 570 standards. The course covers inspection techniques, corrosion assessment, repair methods, and regulatory compliance, tailored to piping systems in refineries and chemical plants.
Participants will explore API 570 guidelines, including inspection planning, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like ultrasonic and radiographic testing, and documentation requirements. The course addresses challenges such as corrosion under insulation (CUI), erosion, and weld imperfections, providing strategies to mitigate risks. Real-world case studies illustrate successful piping inspection and maintenance programs.
This course is ideal for professionals seeking to enhance piping reliability, ensure compliance, and reduce operational risks.
By the end, attendees will be equipped to conduct API 570-compliant inspections, manage piping maintenance, and ensure safe and efficient operations.
