and Piping Systems

MC132 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE
This two-day MasterClass provides an in-depth review of the rules
and application of the ASME, NBIC and API codes and standards in
making run-or-repair operability decisions for pressure equipment
(tanks, vessels) and piping and tubing systems. The class is based on
a series of Case Studies of abnormal and damaged conditions, how to
diagnose their cause, how to determine the integrity of the system or ADVANCED TRAINING COURSES FOR ENGINEERS AND TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS

in service sand how to repair and prevent recurrence. In making these
assessments, we will discuss what guidance is available in ASME The ASME MasterClass Series, launched in 2014 by
