Course Outline
Day 1 — Engineering Materials - Types and Properties Engineering Materials I - Overview
Metals - Ferrous and Non-ferrous
Carbon Steel Alloying elements added to iron base - carbon, manganese, and silicon
Effect of alloying elements on end properties and on fabrication processes
Impurities and their effect - sulfur, phosphorus
Day 2 — Materials Selection and Application Material Selection Process and Guidelines
Life Cycle Cost Considerations
Factors in Material Selection in Petroleum Refineries - type of refinery, type of crude oil processed, service conditions in specific process unit / application, expected service life
Oxidation Resistance - scale formation
Guidelines on the Maximum Temperature of Use of Carbon Steel and Alloy Materials
Day 3 — Degradation of Materials In-Service Material Ageing and Degradation - Overview
Ageing is not about how old equipment is; it's about knowledge of its condition, and how that is changing over time
Indicators or Symptoms of Ageing
Degradation Processes - (e.g. corrosion, erosion)
Excessive Elastic Deformation - (e.g. buckling)
Day 4 — Inspection Strategies and Non-Destructive Examination Methods Mechanical (Structural) Integrity - Overview
Definition, Scope, and Key Elements - hardware and software issues, human factor, and asset management
Potential Threats to Technical Integrity in a hazardous environment
Regulatory Requirements - SH&E, OSHA, SEVESO II
Life Cycle Implications - design / operation / maintenance, management of change
Day 5 — Fitness-For-Service Evaluation Introduction to Fracture Mechanics
Overview
Illustrative Worked Examples
Overview of API Std. 579-1/ASME FFS-1

Accreditation
Al-Khobraa certified. On completion delegates receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of achievement.
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.
