EQUIPMENT IN THE REFINING INDUSTRY

API RP 5714 Days Course

DAMAGE MECHANISMS AFFECTING FIXED

Date: 04 - 07 October 2010 Venue: Concorde Hotel, Shah Alam

INTRODUCTION
This exam prep course covers all information in the current API-571 - Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry. The format has been developed to provide full coverage for API certification exam preparation.

OBJECTIVES
To improve safety, reliability and minimize liability of fixed equipment by learning common damage mechanisms in the refining and petrochemical industry as covered in API 571. The roles of the engineer and inspector in identifying affected materials and equipment, critical factors, appearance or morphology of damage, prevention and mitigation, inspection and monitoring will be covered to introduce the concepts of service-induced deterioration and failure modes. This course is intended for anyone interested in gaining a fundamental understanding of damage mechanisms, but will also assist exam candidates for the API 571 Supplemental Inspector Certification through optional evening tutorials.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers, inspectors, designers and maintenance personnel who are involved in designing, operating, maintaining, repairing, inspecting and analyzing pressure vessels, piping, tanks and pipelines for safe operations in the refining, petrochemical and other related industries. It will assist with API 579 and API 581 evaluations and API 571 exam candidates. John E. Bringas, P.Eng. is a professional engineer who has practiced metallurgical engineering for over 30 years. He is a certified API 510, 570, 653 inspector, with the API 571 supplemental certification. He is a long time committee member of ASTM A01 (Steels), A05 (Coated Steels), B02 (Nonferrous Alloys), NACE STG 32 (Oil and Gas Production-Metallurgy) and STG 36 (Process Industry-Materials), SAE Division 1 (Carbon and Alloy Steels), and Canadian Representative on ISO TC 17-SC 4 (Steels). He is the author of the ASTM Handbook of Comparative World Steel Standards Required Code Documents: and the CASTI Metals Data Books. Mr. Bringas has All participants must bring the API RP 571 to this engineering work experience in the steel making, class. These code documents can be purchased foundry, consulting, refinery, pipeline and from CASTI. A course notebook will be provided to petrochemical industries and is the founder of Codes and Standards Training Inc. and CASTI all participants by iTC Skills/CASTI. Publishing Inc.
