Doc. No. AVNQ/API-653/16 Rev. 00
INTRODUCTION
1.1) BRIEF
This class is designed for pressure equipment inspectors and engineers working in refineries, chemical plants, gas plants, pipeline terminals, and oil fields. This course is also useful for tank maintenance and key operation personnel.The course prepares the student for the API 653 exam. The course is an intensive one-week course with a heavy emphasis on the use of the codes and mathematical calculations.
1.2) AIM / OBJECTIVES
• Using API 650 1 day • API 653 1½ day • Tank Calculations ½ day • Other 1 day • Section IX Welding 1 day
