Fitness for Service of Piping,
Vessels & Tanks
Introduction:
This course explains all fundamental principles of fitness for service, their practical application through case histories, and a step by step evaluation process for each type of degradation mechanism. The course also gives participants knowledge on all fundamental principles of component integrity, material properties of strength and toughness, and the introduction to stress and fracture mechanics. The course provides a review of degradation mechanisms, general metal loss, local wall thinning, pitting, blisters and lamination, mechanical defects (dents, gouges, misalignment, and distortion), crack like flaws (stress corrosion cracking, weld flaws, crack like defects), fatigue and fire damage.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this seminar
participants will learn about:
· Latest
techniques to determine the fitness for service of operating tanks, vessels,
piping systems and pipelines and make cost effective run or repair decisions
· Balanced
approach between the fundamental technical principles of structural integrity,
stress and fracture analysis, and their practical application to field
conditions
· The tools
necessary to recognize and assess defects in tanks, vessels and piping
· How to apply
the step by step 3level approach to evaluate inspection results and recognize
potential failure modes
· Technical basis
for reliability based (risk based) evaluation of remaining life
· Latest
developments in defect assessment techniques, starting with simple rules and
progressing to the more comprehensive evaluation techniques
· How to evaluate
the structural integrity of corroded or damaged equipment, and assess their remaining
life. Degradation mechanisms include: brittle fracture, general metal loss,
local wall thinning, pitting, blisters and lamination, mechanical defects
(dents, gouges, misalignment, and distortion), crack like flaws (stress
corrosion cracking, weld flaws, crack like defects), fatigue and fire damage
Who should attend?
Maintenance, Mechanical Engineers, Foremen, Supervisors
and Technicians, Production Supervisors and Engineers who require an
understanding of the Fitness for Service standard, Design and System Engineers,
Inspectors, Project and Maintenance Engineers who are personally responsible
for the reliable design, operation, maintenance and repair of equipment,
systems, tanks, vessels, piping and pipelines
