Pressure Vessel & Piping Failures:
Causes, Prevention and Repair
…a Case Study Learning Series
The Program provides practical examination of the
fundamental causes of pressure equipment failures and
describes how the failures could have been prevented.
A series of short courses are offered, with each course
addressing the fundamentals of a specific damage
mechanism, its causes and characteristics, method of
inspection to detect damage, and techniques to evalu-
ate the component’s fitness-for-service.
TOPICS INCLUDE
• Overview: PVP Integrity Assessment and Repair
Using ASME/API Codes
•
• General Metal Loss Corrosion
Local Thin Areas
• Pitting Corrosion
• Stress Corrosion Cracking
• Flow-Induced Vibration in Pipes
• Pressure Relief Systems
• High Temp Creep and Creep Fatigue Simulations
…and more
