Course Summary:
Guidelines and Application Procedures for API Recommended Practice 578 Positive Material Identification (PMI) Using XRF / OES & LIBS Technologies
The purpose of this course is to train API 570 inspectors in understanding and applying API RP 578, 3rd Edition, and educate personnel in proper Guideline and Application procedures utilizing XRF / OES /LIBS technologies for PMI.
About the Instructor:
Brian Wilson has 20 years of experience using handheld XRF, OES & LIBS elemental chemistry techniques, and has extensive hands-on knowledge of solutions that can improve the safety, productivity, and profitability of industry consumers. He focuses on handheld analytical techniques for the oil and gas industries (upstream, midstream, and downstream) as well as petrochemical, power generation and the manufacturing and fabrication industries that support the energy markets. As an independent PMI business owner beginning in 1999, Brian was part of the evolution of the handheld XRF offerings and was directly involved in increasing their presence in the marketplace as PMI and material compliance became more critical. From 2009-2014, Brian held positions of increasing responsibility with Acuren Inspection in Houston, TX. As SME/Program Manager, he implemented a comprehensive PMI training program and developed techniques and procedures for specific field applications. From 2014-2020 Brian led global business development efforts for Thermo Fisher Scientific and is currently with SciAps, Inc. as a subject matter expert for PMI/NDT markets.
