API RP 571- DAMAGE MECHANISMS AFFECTING FIXED EQUIPMENT IN THE REFINING INDUSTRY 4 Days Course Date: 04 - 07 October 2010 Venue: Concorde Hotel, Shah Alam

INTRODUCTION This exam prep course covers all information in the current API-571 - Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry. The format has been developed to provide full coverage for API certification exam preparation.

OBJECTIVES To improve safety, reliability and minimize liability of fixed equipment by learning common damage mechanisms in the refining and petrochemical industry as covered in API 571. The roles of the engineer and inspector in identifying affected materials and equipment, critical factors, appearance or morphol-ogy of damage, prevention and mitigation, inspection and monitoring will be covered to introduce the concepts of service-induced deterioration and failure modes. This course is intended for anyone inter-ested in gaining a fundamental understanding of damage mechanisms, but will also assist exam candi-dates for the API 571 Supplemental Inspector Certification through optional evening tutorials.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND Engineers, inspectors, designers and maintenance personnel who are involved in designing, operat-ing, maintaining, repairing, inspecting and analyz-ing pressure vessels, piping, tanks and pipelines for safe operations in the refining, petrochemical and other related industries. It will assist with API 579 and API 581 evaluations and API 571 exam candi-dates.

Required Code Documents:

All participants must bring the API RP 571 to this class. These code documents can be purchased from CASTI. A course notebook will be provided to all participants by iTC Skills/CASTI.
