Pump & Valve Technology &
Fitness for Service of Pressure Vessels & Tanks
Introduction:
The course
will cover topics concerning different types of industrial valves, the control
valves and the safety relief valves. Hydraulic pumps, the dynamic and the positive
displacement types will be addressed in this course. The sealing and flushing
systems plus bearing and lubrication loops are also covered. The selection and
troubleshoot of such systems will also be addressed in detail. The candidates
will learn how different system operate, their limit of performance and the
best operating condition with least troubles and least failure. The candidates
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 and piping systems, to make
cost effective run-repair-replace decisions, and select the appropriate repair
options.
