You Will Learn To
Insights into the improvements made in FFS technology and
what is coming in the API 579-1/ASME FFS-1, 2014 Edition will also • Identify the probable causes of piping vibration
be provided.
• Determine if vibration is likely to be excessive
You Will Learn To
• Recommend methods to correct the problem if the vibration
• Define the basis and application of the Assessment Levels emitted is excessive
by API 579-1/ASME FFS-1
Who Should Attend
• Select an Assessment Level given a component with damage
Engineers, senior designers, maintenance, quality assurance, inspection
• Apply the FFS techniques to the evaluation of in-service and manufacturing personnel who work with process piping (e.g., in the
components through the Life-Cycle Management Process and chemical, petroleum, plastic processing, pulp and paper fields)
