This comprehensive course integrates API 510, 570, and 653 standards with ASME PCC-2 repair methodologies to provide participants with end-to-end knowledge of static equipment integrity management. The program begins with fundamentals of pressure vessels, piping systems, and storage tanks, covering inspection types and common damage mechanisms.
Participants learn to assess inspection findings and make critical decisions about monitoring, repairing, or replacing equipment. The course extensively covers ASME PCC-2 repair approaches, including welded repairs (weld buildup, insert plates, and patches), mechanical repairs (clamps and enclosures), composite wraps, and temporary repairs. Equipment-specific repair examples are provided for vessels, piping, and tanks, demonstrating the interface between API codes and PCC-2 requirements. Real-world case studies on corroded piping, vessel shell thinning, and tank corrosion reinforce learning. Participants develop practical skills in repair method selection, post-repair inspection requirements, and effective communication between inspection and maintenance teams.
-
By the end of this course, participants should be able to:
- Understand static equipment inspection requirements
- Identify common damage mechanisms
- Decide when repair is needed
- Select the right repair method using ASME PCC-2
- Understand repair limits for vessels, piping, and tanks
- Communicate repair recommendations clearly and safely
-
Training will be conducted via Microsoft Team Meeting. Meeting invites will be shared one day before the first day of training.
Face-to-face training is available as per request.
