Learning Objectives

Velosi is conducting a free webinar on “FFS & Life Extension Study of Thermal Cyclic Service Piping System” on Sunday, 9th November 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM GST (Dubai Time).

Fitness-for-Service (FFS) and Life Extension studies are critical for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of piping systems subjected to cyclic loading in oil and gas facilities. Repeated pressure fluctuations, thermal cycles, and operational transients can lead to fatigue, cracking, and degradation of piping components. Moreover, conducting FFS and Life Extension assessments allows engineers to evaluate the integrity of components under cyclic stress, optimize maintenance strategies, and implement life extension measures that maintain operational safety and regulatory compliance throughout.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of FFS methodologies for cyclic service piping systems, referencing internationally recognized standards such as API 579-1, API 571, ASME B31.3, BS 7910, and ASME B31G. Attendees will gain comprehensive insights into defect assessment, fatigue evaluation, material degradation analysis, and strategies for extending the safe operational life of piping systems.

Through expert discussions and real case study examples, participants will also explore how FFS and Life Extension studies integrate with risk-based inspection (RBI) programs, asset integrity management, and operational planning to ensure continuous safe and reliable operations while minimizing unexpected failures and downtime.

Register for our upcoming webinar to gain practical insights into conducting cyclic service FFS assessments while aligning with global best practices and standards.
