Fitness for Service: Pressure Vessels, Tanks and Piping Systems
A plant objective is to attain the maximum economic benefit and service life from existing equipment without sacrificing integrity. This requires accurate assessment of the condition of the equipment and their suitability for the actual service. Fitness-For-Service (FFS) assessments are quantitative engineering evaluations that are performed to demonstrate the structural integrity of an in-service pressure equipment/component containing a flaw or damage. In June 2007 API and ASME produced a joint update of each society’s version of FITNESS FOR SERVICE. The new standard is now called API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 2007 Fitness-For-Service. It has become the defect international standard for conducting FFS assessments. The main deliverables from FFS assessments are improved plant integrity and reduced maintenance costs.
The participant in this integrated and comprehensive course will learn to apply the rules of the API/ASME 579 standard "Fitness-for-Service" to evaluate the integrity and remaining life of pressure vessels, storage tanks, piping systems and pipelines, to make cost effective run-repair-replace decisions, and select the appropriate repair options. In this program you will learn:
By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:
Welders I & II, Fabricators, Welding Metallurgy Technicians, Welding Supervisors, Welding Sales/Service Technicians, Foreman Mechanical Maintenance, Engineering Technicians, Pipefitters, Weld Inspectors, Production Welders, Managers, Petroleum Engineers, Senior Welders and Operators, Production and Maintenance Staff, Inspectors, anyone who works with welding, Inspection Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, NDT Personnel, Quality Assurance Personnel, Auditors, Testing Laboratory Personnel, and Maintenance Personnel, Qualifying Welders, Brazers and Operators, technical professionals, supervisors and managers responsible for ensuring the integrity and cost-effective operation of in-service pressure equipment, storage tanks, piping and pipelines throughout their life cycle including design, operation, and maintenance in the petroleum, petrochemical, process and power industries, Plant engineers and designers, corrosion and materials engineers, project engineers, Reliability and integrity supervisors and engineers including safeguarding/MOC engineers, Inspection engineers and inspectors responsible for monitoring and assessing the condition of pressure equipment and piping systems, Maintenance and operations supervisors and engineers responsible for shutdown planning and implementation, maintenance and repairs/alterations of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, piping and pipelines
