CUTECH is pleased to offer the API 571 – Corrosion and Materials Examination Preparation Training, designed for engineers, inspectors, and industry professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge of corrosion, material degradation, and equipment integrity.
The API 571 Certification validates a candidate's understanding of damage mechanisms commonly encountered in the refining, petrochemical, pulp, and paper industries. A thorough understanding of these mechanisms is essential for maintaining safe, reliable, and efficient plant operations.
This training provides the fundamental knowledge required to correctly identify and evaluate damage mechanisms, supporting the effective application of industry standards such as API 510, API 570, API 653, API 579, API 580, and API 581. It is particularly beneficial for inspectors and engineers involved in equipment integrity assessments, remaining life evaluations, and risk-based inspection (RBI) programs.
This course is ideal for Inspection Engineers, Corrosion Engineers, Materials Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, QA/QC Personnel, NDT Personnel, and Asset Integrity Professionals who are responsible for ensuring the safe operation and long-term reliability of industrial equipment.
You are automatically qualified to take the API 571 Corrosion and Materials certification exam if you have a current API 510, 570, or 653 certification.
If you don’t have, you’ll be qualified based on a mix of your education and industry experience gained in the last 10 years.
