Why Choose this Training Course?

Safe Hot tapping is an efficient technique which includes fixing a welded fitting/Tee to piping, pipeline or static equipment without the need of shutdown or turnaround, then perforating a hole in that piping or equipment by drilling a portion of the piping or equipment within the fixed welding fitting.

This PetroKnowledge training course is designed to provide a practical knowledge of the problems and hazards encountered when installing hot tap connections on process piping, pressure vessels or above ground tanks containing flammable or combustible liquids or gases.

The essential elements of this course are based on accumulated knowledge and experience of the petroleum industry, current industry safe operating practices, and existing standards.

Moreover, we will show how to protect the safety of personnel and the facilities for the work involved.

Attending this course will help you to gain information to assist in safely conducting hot tapping operations on equipment in service in the petroleum and petrochemical industries.

This API 2201: Procedures for Welding of Hot Tapping Equipment training course will highlight:

  • Hazards of flammable Liquids, Vapors, Solids, or Dust
  • Burn-through Prevention
  • Welding and metallurgy considerations
  • Welding in Preparation for Hot Tapping
  • Installing the Hot Tapping Machine
  • Hot Tapping Machine and Typical Hot Tap Connection

What are the Goals?

At the end of this API 2201: Procedures for Welding of Hot Tapping Equipment training course, you will learn to:

  • Understand and apply the procedures for welding of hot tapping equipment containing flammable liquids using API recommended practice 2201
  • learn about pipeline hot tapping including hazards, risks and job analysis
  • Documenting and revising hot tapping checklist and identify the typical applications of a Hot Tap
