Inspection and Maintenance of Static Mechanical Equipment

This is 4 days course provides an overview of mechanical nonrotating (static equipment). The participants will undergo equipment selection and integrity of pressure vessels, piping, and heat exchangers and their integration into the process scheme and control strategy in upstream and midstream oil and gas facilities.

Objectives

To explain pressure vessels international rules & regulations
Identify materials comprising equipment, composition, mechanical characteristics
Identify the most appropriate non-destructive / destructive testing
Describe various welding processes & limits
