This training course is designed to train individuals who are interested in obtaining the API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector Certification, as well as those who are seeking a better understanding of ASME Section VIII and IX code requirements. Included with the course is a pre-study guide and student classroom workbook. The student receives instruction regarding how to take the test, as well as insight into the intricacies of "real world" situations. Daily tests are designed to gauge students’ proficiency and understanding of the material.
The training course covers head and shell calculations, hydrostatic test pressure calculations, reinforcement calculations, shell external pressure calculations, impact test requirements and determination, development and review of welding documentation and NDE requirement.
This training course will highlight:
Any inspector who is responsible for inspection activities of pressure vessels according to API 510 code of inspection or aims to thoroughly understand the inspection methodology of pressure vessels and the basics of design, fabrication and examination of pressure vessels according to ASME Sec. VIII Div.1.
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
The organizations who delegate their employees to attend this valuable course will gain well trained employees who will be qualified to pass easily the API 510 exam and consequently become technically able to inspect pressure vessels according to API 510.
The trainees of this course will be qualified to set inspection plans for all pressure vessels in their organisation plants and will be able to inspect and conduct preventive inspection methodologies to protect the pressure vessels from different corrosion and cracking mechanisms; this indeed helps to increase the revenue of the organization by guaranteeing safe operation of the assets owned and operated by the organization.
After attending this PetroKnowledge training course, the delegates will be qualified to easily pass API 510 exam and be certified and consequently be important employees in their organization, certified and well trained.
The trainees of this course will be qualified to establish inspection plans for the pressure vessels exist in their organization and be able to inspect and conduct preventive inspection methodologies to protect the pressure vessels from different corrosion and cracking mechanisms.
As outlined in the Annex A of the API 510 Standard, the qualification requirements for API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector certification are based on the combination of education and experience related to in-service metallic piping systems. This experience must have been acquired within the last 10 years while employed by, or under contract with, an authorized inspection agency as defined in API 510.
