Engineering and TechnicalMechanical Integrity and Pressure Equipment Inspection
A three day programme on keeping ageing pressure equipment in service safely, and knowing when it cannot be. Delegates work through the degradation mechanisms that affect vessels, tanks and piping, risk based inspection methodology, and the non destructive testing methods available for each situation. Corrosion rate calculation and remaining life assessment are worked through by hand, so delegates can interrogate a number rather than accept it, and fitness for service assessment is applied to real inspection findings. The course closes on building a mechanical integrity programme aligned to recognised inspection codes, which is where most of the value sits for engineers responsible for refinery and mine processing assets that are older than their original design life.
Course objectives
- Apply risk based inspection principles to pressure equipment
- Interpret corrosion rate calculations and remaining life assessments
- Assess equipment fitness for service following inspection findings
- Plan inspection intervals and non destructive testing methods for vessels and tanks
- Develop a mechanical integrity programme aligned to recognised inspection codes
- Specify repair, alteration and rerating within code requirements
- Manage inspection records so an equipment history supports the next decision
