This Course designed by “The Lubrication Institute” gives an in-depth knowledge of Inspection of piping and pipelines under operation and in-service as per API 570 body of knowledge published by American Petroleum Institute. This course is preparatory for taking the API 570 certification examinations administered by API directly.
This course prepares plant operations, maintenance and projects staff, inspectors to ensure piping and pipeline integrity in service and learn to design piping systems as per ASME B31.3 / 31.4 / 31.8 design standards. The practical aspect of design considerations, sizing, rating, piping and pipeline integrity, internal inspections, analysis, repair, pressure testing, and pipeline protection shall be discussed. The program shall also provide more information about types of piping system defects that may crop in during operation, repairs, maintenance and alteration. This will lead the participants to prepare them for ensuring good quality and safety of operating piping and pipelines so that they are safe in operations and ensure preventing any incident.
The training program will include instructions, guidelines and orientation to:
- An understanding of engineering issues of piping and pipelines and to assess the quality control requirements during operation and maintenance
- Understanding of the piping and pipeline integrity management stages and procedures
- Understand the possibility of defects creeping during operation, their detection using proper inspection and NDT methods
- Understanding inspection and monitoring processes, interpretations, reporting (referring to ASME BPV Code Sec IX)
This training course is designed to train individuals who are interested in the inspection of pipelines as per their design codes (ASME B31.3, B31.4, B31.8) following steps listed in API 570 and other relevant API standards.
After undertaking the training course, pipeline inspectors will be able to understand:
- Inspectors responsibilities,
- Personal and general pipeline safety
- Environmental, safety and pollution control
- General pipeline alteration, repair inspection procedures
The preparatory course will assist engineers, operations, inspection and project team staff members in successfully appearing for In-service Piping and Pipeline Inspectors Certification Examinations (for API 570) conducted by API and covers the prescribed body of knowledge and effectivity sheets for 2021 examinations.
