inspection, alteration of pressure vessels and
Pressure relief valves and the associated
damage Mechanisms, and external , internal and
NDE inspection and frequencies of inspection
and RBI . He Has trained a lot of Major Organi-
zations in India and in The gulf and recently in
Vietnam. He is a well-known specialist in Petro
chemical and Processing Industries.
He has been approved by API as Authorized
inspector in Pressure Vessel inspection, Pipeline
inspection, Storage tank inspection, Damage
mechanism specialization, Risk based inspec-
tion Training will involve a lot of Audio Visual
Aids, Power Points, animations, Simulation,
Case History Discussion, and Practical.

tion, Repair, Alteration, And Rerating Of In-service
Piping Systems
• API Recommended Practice 571, Damage Mecha-
nisms Affecting Fixed Equipment In The Refining
Industry

• ASME Section B31.3, Process Piping
API Publication:
This five-day course will provide an intensive knowledge
regarding inspection, repair and alteration of Piping. The
course fulfills the need for deciding the inspection meth-
ods and Frequency of inspection based on the evaluation
of the condition of the Pipelines.
Entire course content will be consistent with the body of
knowledge for 570 examination. The course will help the
individuals to understand API Recommended Practice
570 along with other referenced standards like ASME.
The participants will be given a thorough coverage of API
570 with emphasis on understanding of ‘stated’ and
‘implied’ requirements in a simple straightforward manner
backed up with several practical examples and case
studies. This course will employ latest audio visuals and
animations and Mock quiz to give the candidates deep
understanding.
This course is designed to give the participants the confi-
dence to face the API 570 Piping Inspector Certification
Examination and come out successfully with excellent
score.
