5 training days · 15 modules · hands-on workshops
Apply ASME and API codes and materials science principles to mechanical equipment design.
Material selection exercise: teams choose appropriate materials for three defined service conditions (HPHT sour, seawater injection, and cryogenic) with code and standard justification.
Design, inspect, and assess the integrity of pressure-containing equipment.
Pressure vessel FFS assessment: groups apply API 579 Level 1 to a vessel with thinning corrosion, calculate remaining thickness, and determine re-inspection interval.
Apply piping design codes and stress analysis methods to process piping systems.
Piping stress review: teams identify flexibility deficiencies in a provided piping isometric, recommend support modifications, and check against B31.3 allowable stress limits.
Select, operate, and maintain centrifugal and reciprocating machinery.
Pump FMEA: groups identify all significant failure modes for a critical process pump, assess severity and detectability, and propose a targeted preventive maintenance programme.
Apply welding metallurgy, non-destructive examination, and integrity management frameworks.
NDE interpretation exercise: teams review a set of UT corrosion maps and radiographs, apply acceptance criteria, and produce an inspection disposition report with recommended actions.
