Why Attend
DNV’s Failure Analysis Workshops explain and demonstrate how to perform an adequate failure analysis and provide guidance on avoiding future failures, making appropriate repairs, and aiding in the collection of information for remaining life and fitness-for-service assessments. The six-hour course covers:
✓ Establishment of an action plan for performing failure analyses and using the results
✓ Common types of failures in mechanical equipment including piping, pressure vessels, tanks, valves, fittings and rotating machinery
✓ Common material failure mechanisms including corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, brittle facture, fatigue, high-temperature creep, wear, and hydrogen embrittlement
✓ General steps involved in performing a failure analysis
✓ A systematic approach to root-cause analysis
✓ Procedures for metallurgical examination
✓ Practical examples of actual failures
