Velosi is conducting training for API 579 – Fitness for Service Course.
API 579 – Fitness-for-Service (FFS) evaluations are quantitative engineering assessments undertaken to demonstrate the structural integrity of in-service pressurized equipment that may have a fault or damage. This standard’s guidelines can be used to make “Run-Repair-Replace” decisions, and if confirmed fit for service, the equipment’s predicted remaining safe life can be calculated.
This course explains and applies the API fitness-for-service standard to help learners understand and implement it in their daily work. The course materials demonstrate how stress analysis, materials engineering, and nondestructive inspection work together to assess fitness-for-service. The processes apply to pressure vessels, pipelines, and tanks that are in use.
This training session is meant to provide rational, step-by-step techniques for assessing the equipment’s current structural integrity, determining its fitness for continued service, and selecting and performing the appropriate corrective action.
-
By the end of this course, participants will learn to:
- To understand the proper inspection methods and how to evaluate inspection results.
- To gain a better understanding of how pressure vessels and piping degrade and deteriorate in service.
- Learn a step-by-step process for evaluating errors and flaws that arise during the service.
- When component repair is considered necessary based on appropriate inspection, defect evaluation and take action.
- To assess the asset’s remaining life
- Performing repairs without harming the equipment
-
Training will be conducted via Microsoft Team Meeting, online. Meeting invites will be shared on the day before the first day of training.
