Preparation for API 570 Certification  Exam

Preparation for API 570 Certification  Exam

INTRODUCTION

This  5 Day course focuses on learning the API 570 Piping Inspection Code for those who wish to become a Certified API 570 Piping Inspectors as well as the delegate will gain knowledge from API 571, 572, API 577, ASME Section V, ASME B16.5 and ASME Section IX. This course will define the underlying intents of all code sections, teach  participants how to read code rulings, and, in the end, instill confidence in them to make “Run, Repair, Replace” judgments.

OBJECTIVES

By the end of the course the participants will be able to:

• Acquaint participants with the API 570 Code’s major ideas and technical vocabulary.
• Explain the principles of piping design. To compute the thickness of a pipe’s wall.
• Find out the MAWP, flange ratings, and scrap thickness for pipes, fittings, and valves.
• Help participants understand the key concepts of the decline mechanism.
• Introduce students to different ways of evaluating and decision making.
• Identifying cost-effective approach towards making the 3’R’ decisions.
• How to perform repairs, alterations and re-evaluation of piping systems.
• Assessment of future remaining life, Life extension methods for piping systems.
