Why Choose this Training Course

This API 571 course presents an overview of common damage mechanisms that affect fixed equipment in refineries and process industries. Understanding damage mechanisms is important for corrosion control, mitigation, prevention and for performing fitness for service assessments. This knowledge also helps in maintaining effective risk-based inspection (RBI) programmes.

We are also a proud member of the Energy Institute of UK.

Who Should Attend

Plant Personnel, Maintenance and Inspection Personnel, Projects Team Members, Designers, Engineers, Senior Engineers involved in RBI programmes and fitness for service assessments will benefit from this course.

Key Learning Objectives

• Be well prepared and equipped with adequate knowledge and skills to pass the API 571 Exam.
• Have a general background on the scope, organization and use of API 571 and be able to review the standards and other references related to it.
• Understand general damage mechanisms applicable to the industry and be able to identify their features and functions.
• Determine the various mechanical and metallurgical failure mechanisms such as brittle fracture, stress rupture, steam blanketing, cracking, thermal shock, corrosion and fatigue.
• Identify general damage mechanisms on uniform or localized loss thickness and explain the various types of corrosion related to it.
• Describe damage mechanisms on high temperature corrosion including oxidation, sulfidation, carburization and metal dusting.
• Know refining industry damage mechanisms used in uniform of localized loss in thickness phenomena.
• Describe refining industry damage mechanisms for environmentassisted cracking and be able to identify the other types of mechanisms.
