American Petroleum Institute (API) Piping Inspection Code 570 Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Rerating of In-Service Piping Systems is recognized and used with confidence worldwide. The Piping Inspector Certification Program (PICP) is developed for the continual high level of efficiency and safety through emphasizing professional credibility and process integrity. Process piping system is one of the critical production assets in process industry. Organizations recognize the need to maintain authorized inspection agency and technically assess qualified piping engineers and inspectors to ensure facilities are at top performance. Therefore, API 570 certification is one of the most sought after professional competency that enables inspectors to be actively involved in the improvement of industry & environmental health and safety performance, reinforcement management control, compliance of inspection capabilities. Each attendee must bring a Laptop computer with Microsoft operating system.
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- API 570:Inspection methodologies, remaining life calculations, degradation mechanisms, repair & re-rating of in-service piping system and relations to ASME codes
- ASME Section V:Principles and application of Non-Destructive Examination
- ASME section IX: Welding & brazing requirements and procedures
- ASME B31.3:Design review, welding & heat treatment, inspection, leak testing of process piping
- ASME B16.5: Design & repair of pipe flanges and flanged fittings
- API RP 571: Damage Mechanisms affecting fixed equipment in refineries, eg. fractures, fatigue, corrosion, sulfidation, MIC, HTTA etc.
- API 574:Inspection practices for piping system components
- API RP 577:Welding inspection and metallurgy recommended practices
- API RP 578:Material verification program for new and existing alloy piping systems
