Why Choose this Training Course?
Metallic material mix-up can lead to a large catastrophe in Oil and Gas industry, that why the American petroleum institute API created this recommended practice (API -RP 578).
This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:
- Consideration and concern due to material mix-up
- Materials verification programs (MVP)
- PMI Methodologies and technology
- Evaluation of reading via the applicable standards
- Material identification
What are the Goals?
At the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, you will learn to:
- Understands the types and grades of steels
- Verify the MTC according to ASME BPVC II
- Learn about the different types of PMI specially (XRF & OES)
- Know about the verification procedure against the various standards
- Understand the documentation and record keeping of MVP records
Who is this Training Course for?
This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable for personnel who will be involved in material verification in oil & gas industry, power plants, refineries and chemical plants
This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Material Engineer/Inspector
- In-service inspection Engineer
- PMI Technicians
- Welding Engineers
- Corrosion Engineers
- Operation Engineers
- Asset integrity Engineers
How will this Training Course be Presented?
This PetroKnowledge training course will combine presentations with instructor-guided interactive discussions between participants relating to their individual interests. Practical exercises, video material and case studies aimed at stimulating these discussions and providing maximum benefit to the participants will support the formal presentation sessions. Above all, the course leader will make extensive use of case examples and case studies of issues in which he has been personally involved.
