This API 571 training course is conducted for all professionals who are interested in understanding deeply the different types of corrosion, cracking and other damage mechanisms that their equipment may suffer or face in service. The following assets and equipment may suffer from damage mechanisms derived thorough API 571:
All of process piping designed according ASME B31.3 & inspected according to API 570
All of Pressure Vessels designed according ASME Sec VIII & inspected according to API 510
All of Tanks inspected designed according to API 650 & inspected according API 653
This training course will demonstrate deeply all the 66 damage mechanisms contained in the recommended practices API 571. The damage mechanisms in this recommended practice cover situations encountered in the refining and petrochemical industry in pressure vessels, piping, and tankage. The damage mechanism descriptions are not intended to provide a definitive guideline for every possible situation that may be encountered, and the reader may need to consult with an engineer familiar with applicable degradation modes and failure mechanisms, particularly those that apply in special cases.
Be very familiar and aware of all the 66 damage mechanisms stated in Recommended Practices API 571 as well as the different types of corrosion and cracking mechanisms
Be able to distinguish and identify the type, extent and severity of the damage mechanism faced in the plant facilities
Learn to anticipate which equipment may suffer specific damage mechanisms under which design and operating conditions
Know how to inspect for the damage mechanisms and recommended types of inspection methods
Know how to prevent the occurrence of the well-known damage mechanisms
Get prepared for the next API 571 exam and have enough knowledge and skills to pass such exam in order to get the API 571 Inspector certificate
Asset Integrity Engineers
NDT Engineers & Technicians
Fresh Graduated Mechanical Engineers
In service inspector
All professionals who aim to register for API 571 exam

Social media marketing is one of the most important digital marketing channels. Social media marketing uses social media platforms to create awareness about the product. Digital Marketing uses online and offline channels to promote products to the customer.
We all operate in an increasingly complex commercial and professional environment that requires us to negotiate on a daily basis not only with customers, clients, suppliers and contractors but also with managers, fellow employees, and colleagues within our own organization.
The key to any successful operation lies in the effective management of risks; the ability to seize opportunities, minimize threats, and optimize results. However, risk management is too often treated as a reactive process, or worse, not done at all. In this Operations Risk Management and Mitigation training course, you’ll work through the proactive approach to both sides of risk: threats and opportunities. The approach applies a proven six-step methodology of risk planning through identification, analysis, and control.
Maintaining a high level of productivity in today's successful businesses takes work and continuous learning in a variety of management skills and techniques. To be successful in daily work tasks, knowledge, and skills in management techniques must be learned, practiced, and implemented. People in all types of organizations find themselves needing to find more productive methods of planning work and tasks, setting appropriate goals, using good interpersonal skills, and using effective means of making decisions. A focus on using productive practices allows for effective and efficient management of work and making changes in the organization.
The ASME Plant Inspector Level 1 training course provides the fundamental principles of the inspection, assessment, and management of fixed pressure equipment. The content of the course is delivered in a systematic manner, from the inspection planning process to inspection practices and evaluation of the associated equipment. It is aimed at the upstream and downstream Petrochemical industry but is equally relevant to stakeholders from other sectors that utilize pressure equipment.
This intensive course covers the in-service inspection methodologies and requirements for piping, pressure vessels, and above ground storage tanks.
