Corrosion Management – NACE and API 571

This 2-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of corrosion management principles, focusing on NACE standards and API 571 guidelines. Designed for engineers and technical professionals in industries like oil, gas, and petrochemicals, it equips participants with skills to identify, assess, and mitigate corrosion risks, ensuring asset integrity and safety.

Corrosion is a critical challenge in industries reliant on metal infrastructure, leading to costly repairs, downtime, and safety risks. Corrosion Management – NACE and API 571 is a 2-day course that equips professionals with the knowledge and tools to manage corrosion effectively, adhering to NACE standards and API 571 guidelines. The course covers corrosion mechanisms, material selection, inspection techniques, and mitigation strategies, tailored to industries like oil and gas, pipelines, and petrochemicals.

Participants will explore corrosion science, including types of corrosion (e.g., galvanic, pitting, stress corrosion cracking) and environmental factors. The course delves into API 571’s damage mechanisms, providing practical insights into identifying and assessing corrosion in assets like pipelines, vessels, and tanks. NACE standards for corrosion control, including cathodic protection and coatings, are thoroughly examined, with emphasis on compliance and best practices.

This course is ideal for professionals seeking to enhance asset reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure safety through effective corrosion management.

By the end, attendees will be equipped to implement NACE-compliant strategies, interpret API 571 guidelines, and develop robust corrosion management plans, ensuring operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
