Flow-Induced Vibration with Applications API 579/ASME FFS-1 Fitness-For-Service
to Failure Analysis Evaluation
PD146 ASME STANDARDS COURSE PD616 ASME STANDARDS COURSE / TOP SELLER PRESSURE TECHNOLOGY • PUBLIC COURSES
This comprehensive course reviews fundamentals of flow and vibration Course participants will learn how to apply the rules of the API 579-1/
theory. Attendees benefit from the problem-solving activities at the ASME FFS “Fitness-for-Service” Standard to evaluate the integrity and
conclusion of each section. Topics such as vortex and turbulence remaining life of tanks, pressure vessels, piping systems and pipelines.
