Pipeline and Piping Inspection, Maintenance and Integrity Assessment (ASME B31 and API 579 Standards)

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

Overview

At the completion of this 5-day course, the participants will have an in-depth understanding of the ASME B31 design, construction, inspection and testing rules; as well as their application to integrity assessment of operating systems. The participants will gain an in-depth knowledge of pipe and fitting material specifications, fabrication process and influence on mechanical properties of strength and toughness, to help in material selection and failure analysis.

Learning Objectives

• The course covers construction and welding practices, weld inspections, weld flaws and acceptance criteria.
• The course covers hydro testing methods and alternative leak detection techniques.
• The participant will gain a practical understanding of piping and pipeline corrosion mechanisms, how to recognize them, classify them and resolve them.
• The participant will be introduced to the latest techniques and research in piping and pipeline integrity to analyze a degraded condition due to either corrosion or mechanical damage.
• The participants will review case histories of field failures and will evaluate their cause and solutions to avoid recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
