Synopsis of Courses
1)
Welding design requirements for fabricated structures
This course provides basic knowledge and understanding of welding design requirements
for fabricated structures. 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 fabricated structures
2) Welding codes and standards for engineering applications
This course is designed to provide an appreciation of ASME and ISO welding codes and standards to those engineers involved in manufacturing and fabrication industries using arc welding technologies. Its objective is to help engineers understand how to apply these welding codes and standards to ensure the welds meet the quality requirements set by these codes and standards. The course will also provide general guidelines in applying and interpreting the rules along with case study.
Participants will benefit from the following:
- Receive overview of ASME and ISO welding codes and standards
- Understand the importance of qualification test in ensuring weld quality
- Understand the background of rules and qualification range
- Understand the background of destructive and non-destructive tests required for qualification test
- Understand the process and approach to qualify a welding procedure specification and welder in the most cost effective and practical way
- Understand the background of qualification range of welding procedure specification and welder qualification
- Application of qualification range to maximise the benefits of welding procedure specification and welder qualification
- Understand the approach to validate a welding procedure specification with respect to welding and fabrication standards and project specification
- Understand the weld quality requirements to improve effectiveness of inspection and reduce reject or repair rate
- Improve communication between design engineer and welding engineer
3) Advanced non-destructing testing (NDT) techniques for engineers
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods determine the welding integrity of materials and its characteristics without doing any harm to the materials. The course gives an overview of the more advanced NDT techniques commonly used in industry, the principles behind them, their applications and advantages. These NDT techniques are:
- Phased array ultrasonic
- Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)
- Computer radiography
- Auto Ultrasonic Testing (AUT)
4) In –service inspection of plants
This aim of this course is to provide engineers with basic knowledge and understanding
of in-service plant inspection. Participants will benefit from gaining basic knowledge of
- roles and duties of the plant inspector
- inspection and test plans
- inspection safety
- piping inspection
- storage tank inspection
- pressure equipment inspection
- risk-based inspection (RBI) principles
