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:

 

  • 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
  • Basic design of pressure vessels, piping and storage tanks, fundamental principles of component integrity, application of the ASME code rules, material properties of strength and toughness, and the introduction to stress and fracture mechanics
  • A review of degradation mechanisms and the application of API/ASME 579 to brittle fracture, general metal loss, local wall thinning, pitting, blisters and laminations, mechanical defects (dents, gouges, misalignment, and distortion), crack-like flaws (stress corrosion cracking, weld flaws, crack-like defects), fatigue, HIC & SOHIC and fire damage
