The American Petroleum Institute’s authorized pressure vessel inspectors must have a broad knowledge relating to maintenance, inspection, repair, and alteration of pressure vessels. Pressure vessel inspection course gives a broad knowledge relating to maintenance, inspection, repair, and alteration of pressure vessels.

API’s inspector certification programs are based on industry developed standards that are used worldwide. API’s Pressure Vessel Inspector Certification examination is designed to determine if individuals have such knowledge.

• Extensive overview of API 510.
• Inspection intervals.
• Corrosion allowances.
• Joint efficiencies.
• Static head and pressure calculations.
• Head and shell calculations.

• Shell external pressure calculations.
• Impact test requirements and determination.
• Weld size determination.
• Concepts of reinforcement.
• Reinforcement calculations
• Degradation mechanisms.

• Remaining life calculations.
• Development and review of welding documentation.
• NDE requirements.
• API 510, API 572, API 571, API 576, API 577.
• ASME VIII, ASME IX welding and ASME V.

The course is aimed at:

• Plant Engineers.
• Non-Destructive Testing Engineers.
• Materials and Corrosion Engineers.
• Plant Inspectors responsible for managing the integrity of ageing process equipment, pipelines, boilers and storage tanks.
• Engineers, Inspectors Designers & operating persons in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry.
• Those seeking better understanding of use of codes and standards in pressure vessel industries, knowledge of design criteria, repairs alteration and understanding all in service inspection & test requirements.

It is recommended that attendees have a knowledge of either the inspection, design, fabrication, operation or maintenance of process equipment and piping, as well as some knowledge of the most common pressure equipment design codes/standards.
This is not a course for the beginners. At least 3 years of experience in oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical and fertilizer industry, and involvement in the design, procurement, engineering construction, operation, maintenance and inspection of pressure vessels and related facilities is required.

Finally, Industry experts and faculty with firsthand experience guarantee you a dynamic learning experience at an affordable price. Discuss challenges, get answers, share ideas and return to your job a more knowledgeable and valuable professional. Certificate recipients report promotions and increased job opportunities.
