This virtual training course is designed for all individuals who work with steels. You will learn how carbon steels, low-alloy steels, and alloy steels are addressed in ASTM Standards, improving your ability to identify steels for a given application; and by using ASTM Standards, understand the technical requirements for each type of steel, as well as meaningfully evaluate supplied steel chemistry and mechanical properties. Eligible to earn CPDs toward ICP recertification.

This virtual training course is designed for all individuals who work with steels. You will learn how common steel wrought products, such as: rolled, forged, tubular, and wire products are made; and by using ASTM Standards improve your ability to understand how the product’s mechanical properties are developed through steelmaking practices, chemical composition, inclusion control, and forming methods. Eligible to earn CPDs toward ICP recertification.

In this on-demand video course, you will learn how to effectively identify the equipment that should be included in a facility's process safety management (PSM) program, specifically the facility’s mechanical integrity (MI) program. The instructor will provide guidance on the different criteria that should be considered when determining which equipment to include in a program. You will also learn about the various “layers of protection” in preventing a loss of primary containment (LOPC) and how to work through them to identify equipment that should be included. Furthermore, you will delve into the different types of equipment and learn how to break down those pieces of equipment into smaller components. By analyzing the components of each equipment type, you will be able to determine which ones can be excluded from the program.

To further enhance your learning, the course includes a final exam and a workshop at the end where you will apply the concepts covered in the course. You will be provided with a process and its details and asked to determine which types of equipment from that process should be included in a safe and compliant program.

This on-demand video course aims to enhance your understanding of damage mechanisms and their impact on mechanical integrity in facilities. It provides an overview of API RP 571, Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry—the industry's primary resource on damage mechanisms.

The course covers reactor effluent cooler (REAC) systems, a very dangerous system in oil refineries. You will also gain a better understanding of two dangerous damage mechanisms: sulfidation and high temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA). Additionally, the course covers damage mechanisms affecting Amine Units, a comparison of inspection compliance programs with inspection excellence programs, and a brief overview of the most pervasive damage mechanism in our industry: external corrosion.

This on-demand video course provides an introduction to the basics of pressure relief devices (PRDs) for mechanical integrity professionals. Topics covered include a review of pertinent codes and standards for pressure relief, recognition of PRD installation issues, mitigation of deficiencies that cause pressure relief valve (PRV) instability, maintaining PRV reliability through best practices in inspection and testing, and finally, a discussion on procedures to prevent overpressure during maintenance.

This on-demand video course provides an overview of nondestructive examination (NDE) technologies for degradation monitoring of assets. This course covers key topics such as NDE testing goals (i.e., what do you want to get out of NDE) and current NDE technologies such as radiography (RT), ultrasonics (UT), eddy current (EC), and more. Additionally, the course will address common damage mechanisms and their morphologies, choosing the appropriate NDE method for specific damage mechanisms, and effectively acquiring NDE data.

Whether you're new to NDE technologies or seeking to expand your knowledge, this course provides an overview and practical understanding of how to monitor asset degradation effectively.

This 1-hour course offers an introduction to Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessments. An FFS assessment is a multidisciplinary engineering analysis of equipment to determine whether it is fit for continued service, usually until the next shutdown. This concise course explains the concept of Fitness-for-Service (FFS), discusses FFS and Lifecycle Management (LCM) Principles, briefly reviews the history and development of API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1 (the current Fitness for Service document), highlights opportunities for Fitness-for-Service, and provides an overview of API 579-1.
