Velosi is conducting API 581 – Risk-Based Inspection Exam Preparation Training online.
The API 581 RBI Course utmost prioritize the equipment to be inspected, optimize the inspection method and frequency, and create an effective inspection plan based on the equipment's risk contribution and condition.
This course will initially describe viable means and alternatives for a successful RBI program without unnecessary complexity and provide a simple and easy introduction to the RBI framework and methods for creating and implementing risk-based inspection programs that best suit your business goals. Its usefulness assumes that some important equipment in the process plant is a major part of the risk. As a result, if you can identify some of these devices, testing and inspection can focus on them rather than some of the low-risk items.
Velosi API 581 Exam Preparation training will clearly define the methodology of the actual implementation of RBI in the oil and gas industry. In addition to the knowledge required to pass the certification exam, it also includes advanced knowledge of implementing RBI. Candidates must have at least one of API 510, API 570, or API 653 certifications.
