Carbon & Low Alloy Steel
Materials for Sour Service (NACE MR0175/ISO 15156/NACE MR0103)
Introduction:
This comprehensive
course will enable the candidates gain an understanding of general principles
for selection of cracking-resistant materials used in H2S-containing
environments in oil and gas production where the failure of such equipment
could pose a risk to the health and safety of the public and personnel or to
the environment as described in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 and for refineries as
described in NACE MR0103. This will be achieved by clarifying the
responsibilities of the equipment user, manufacturer, and supplier as defined
in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 and NACE MR0103 aided by studying basic steel
metallurgy, H2S related damage mechanisms, hardness test methods, steel
standards. To assist with these objectives, a brief introduction to
H2S-environment cracking test methods NACE TM0177 and TM0284 will be covered.
Course
Objectives:
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
· Learn about NACE MR0175, ISO 15156 & NACE MR0103 standards and fully comprehend the basic principles
Who
Should Attend?
Engineers, testing lab technologists and technicians,
inspectors, equipment designers, steel manufacturers, distributors, and
maintenance personnel who are involved in designing, fabricating,
manufacturing, supplying, operating, maintaining, repairing, and inspecting oil
field and refinery equipment in sour service by using NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 and
