INTRODUCTION
This GLOMACS API 510: Pressure Vessel Inspection Code training course will focus on learning the API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspection Code. The participant will as gain knowledge from API 571, API 572, API 576, API 577, ASME Section V and ASME Section IX, and will further receive instructions on how to take the API exam.
Topics include:
- Head and Shell Calculations
- Hydrostatic Test Pressure Calculations
- Reinforcement Calculations
- Shell internal Pressure Calculations
- Impact Test Requirements and Determination
- Development and Review of Welding Documentation
- NDE Requirements
Objectives
The main aim of this comprehensive training course is to provide the delegates enough knowledge and skills to pass such exam in order to get the API 510 certification.
The API 510: Pressure Vessel Inspection Code training course will further assist participants to:
- Identify the service restrictions, joint efficiencies and radiography
- Discuss vessels under internal pressures like shell and head calculations
- Recognize maximum allowable working pressure; define hydrostatic head pressure and hydrostatic-pneumatic tests
- Employ post weld heat treatment
- Identify the charpy impact testing
- Carryout material name plates data reports and apply corrosion calculations
Training Methodology
This training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures, videos and interactive worked examples. Each learning point will be re-enforced with practical exercises and ample opportunities for discussion and sharing of experiences.
