API 571 (Damage Mechanisms) Supplementary Certification - Preparatory Training

Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

This course prepares the student for the API RP 571 examination (Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining and Petrochemical Industries). The course is an intensive one week course covering the 64 corrosion mechanisms documented in the API 571. It will also review basic refinery flow as needed to understand how the flow affects corrosion mechanisms. This API 571 Supplemental Inspection Certification Program (ICP) is designed to train inspectors on damage mechanisms affecting fixed equipment in the refining industry.

Learning Objectives

• Successfully pass the API RP 571 ICP exam.
• Understand the subject matter on the API 571 exam. (Steel-Solutions guarantee).
• Have a detailed background on the scope, organization and use of API RP 571.
• Understand the relationship between various corrosion mechanisms and associated metallurgy.
• Identify various inspection techniques for the different metallurgies and corrosion mechanisms.
• Comprehend how various corrosion mechanisms react in specific environments (how they can be rate controlled).
• Understand general damage mechanisms applicable to the refining industry and be able to identify their features & functions.

What do Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses cover?

The portfolio covers reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and vibration analysis, root cause failure analysis, rotating and static equipment, asset management and maintenance planning — including preparation for the CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) credential.

Who should attend a mechanical, maintenance or reliability course?

These courses suit maintenance and reliability engineers, maintenance planners and schedulers, mechanical and rotating-equipment technicians and supervisors, condition-monitoring analysts, asset and plant managers, and operations staff accountable for equipment availability.

How long are mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can mechanical, maintenance and reliability training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
