Materials of Construction for
Process Equipment & Piping System
Appropriate material selection is the cornerstone of
pressure equipment and piping design, operation and maintenance. Engineers must
select materials of construction that provide adequate strength at operating
temperatures and pressures, in compliance with applicable construction codes
and with regard to their resistance to corrosion and other likely degradation
mechanisms, as well as to cost-effectiveness. The acceptability of materials is
controlled by the relevant codes.
This course provides comprehensive and practical understanding of engineering materials and guidance on the methods and best industry practices for the selection of the appropriate materials of construction for specific applications while simultaneously satisfying service requirements, construction Code requirements, and least life cycle costs over the entire plant life. This course will provide a practical overview of ASME BPVC Section II - Materials, as well as some relevant information from the BPVC Section VIII Div.1 and B31.3 Process Piping.
This course provides concise overviews of best industry practices including: API RP 577 'Welding Inspection and Metallurgy'; API RP 580 and Publ. 581 BRD 'Risk-Based Inspection'; API RP 571 'Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry'; API RP 578 'Positive Material Identification'; and API Std. 579-1/ASME FFS-1 'Fitness-For-Service'. This course builds on a focused and practical coverage of engineering materials properties and selection and provides a structured approach to predict, monitor and assess the materials performance in service with the objective of ensuring plant integrity, safety and cost-effective operation.
Course
Objectives:
By
the end of this course delegates will be able to:
· Clearly understand that the appropriate
selection of materials of construction for pressure equipment is the
cornerstone of safe, reliable and cost-effective plant operation
· Have an awareness of key requirements of
relevant design and operation standards and industry practices such as ASME
B&PVC and B31.3; ASTM Material Specifications, API 571, 580, 581, 578 and
579 and others
· Identify and locate in-service degradation and
appropriate tools for condition assessment and making sound run/repair/replace
decisions
· Recognize that although all flaws detected by
inspection must be evaluated, not all flaws need to be repaired
· Know the proper application of API STD
579-1/ASME FFS-1 for fitness-for-service assessment may obviate the need for
some repairs and result in reduced maintenance cost and downtime.
