Synopsis of Courses
1)
Welding design requirements for pressure vessels
This course provides basic knowledge and understanding of welding design requirements for pressure vessels. Participants will be given basic understanding of
- welding symbols in accordance to AWS A2.4 and BS EN 22553 (ISO 2553)
- behaviour of welded structures under different types of loading
- factors affecting fatigue and types of fractures
- design principles for static pressure vessels and aluminium structures
2) Advanced Non- Destructive Testing (NDT) in engineering applications
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods determine the welding integrity of materials and its characteristics without doing any harm to the materials. The course provides an overview of the more advanced NDT methods commonly used in industry, the principles behind them, their applications and advantages and disadvantages. These NDT methods are:
- Phased Array Ultrasonic
- Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)
- Computer Radiography
- Auto Ultrasonic Testing (AUT)
3) Risk Based Inspection (RBI) for effective safety management
This course is designed in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute (API) based resource document 581 and API recommended practice 580 requirements. It provides knowledge and understanding of the following:
- philosophy of RBI
- reasons for implementing RBI
- benefits of using RBI
- practical implementation of RBI
- risk mitigation plan
- inspection planning
4) Fitness for Service (FFS) – a critical assessment of damage on assets
This course is designed in accordance with the FFS assessment techniques of API 579-1/ASME FFS 2007. It provides knowledge and understanding of the following:
- philosophy of FFS
- introduction to FFS assessment standard
- FFS assessment techniques for different types of damages
- damage mechanism identification
- non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for damage detection
- effects of NDT results on FFS assessment
5) Welding Metallurgy in engineering applications
This course provides knowledge and understanding of basic welding metallurgy including the manufacture of steel and the properties, characteristics and weldability of carbon alloy steels. It also explains the
- various methods of testing materials
- various heat treatment methods
- cracking phenomena in welded joints and ways of avoidance
6) Specific materials & their behaviour in engineering applications
This course is designed to provide knowledge and understanding of the properties, characteristics and weldability of the following specific materials:
- stainless steel (austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex)
- aluminium and alloys
- cryogenic steel ( nickel and its alloys)
- creep resistant steel ( chromium, molybdenum and alloys)
The course also covers the various welding consumables, processes and techniques used for each specific material.
