Course Description
API RP 571-2011 is the latest edition that describes damage mechanisms affecting equipment in the refining and petrochemical industries. A key first step in managing equipment safety and reliability is the identification and understanding of the various damage mechanisms. Proper identification of damage mechanisms is also required when implementing the API Inspection Codes (API 510, API 570, API 653) and in carrying out risk based inspection (RBI) per API 580 and API 581. When performing a fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment using API 579, the damage mechanisms need to be understood and need to be considered when evaluating the remaining life.
Course Objectives
- Providing the participants with a thorough of the various damage mechanisms contained in the latest edition of API RP 571-2011
- Understanding how this knowledge can be applied to the selection of effective inspection methods to detect size and characterize damage
- Learning the 66 damage mechanisms that are common to a variety of industries
