Fitness-for-service (FFS) Assessment Based on the new API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 2007

API APPROVED

Course Content: This course has been developed, based around the new API/ASME combined standard (API 579 Second Edition) which has been expanded to address material damage mechanisms other than just those commonly found in refining industry equipment. Introduction to FFS; material properties and the API 579 Annexes; stress analysis for FFS; non-destructive testing and flaw sizing for FFS; identification of damage mechanisms for FFS; brittle fracture; general metal loss; localised metal loss; pitting; laminations; weld misalignment and shell distortion; crack-like flaws; creep; fire damage; hydrogen blisters; hydrogen damage associated with HIC and SOHIC; dents and gouges; remaining life assessment and life extension examples; repair and remediation options; status of API 579 and future developments; interaction with other assessment procedures (e.g. FITNET, BS 7910, R5 and R6) and related API documents (API 510, API 570 and API 653)

Suitable for: The course is aimed at plant engineers, non-destructive testing engineers, materials and corrosion engineers, plant

inspectors responsible for managing the integrity of ageing process equipment, pipelines, boilers and storage tanks.

This course covers Level 1 (for plant inspectors) and Level 2 (for engineers FFS assessments), in accordance with the 2006 edition of API RP 579.

It is recommended that attendees have a knowledge of either the design, fabrication, operation or maintenance of

Objectives: At the end of the course, attendees will be able to:

Confidently apply the latest FFS technologies for making repair, replace, re-rate and re-design decisions Understand the information requirements for performing FFS assessments for brittle fracture, general metal

loss, localised metal loss, pitting, laminations, weld misalignment and shell distortion, crack-like flaws, creep; fire damage; hydrogen blisters; hydrogen damage associated with HIC/SOHIC; dents and gouges

Use FFS on process equipment, pipelines, boilers and storage tanks

Course Title: Fitness-for-service (FFS) Assessment

Course Duration: 3 Days
