repair options.
This two-day MasterClass provides an overview of the methods
and criteria for inspection of piping systems and tanks, evaluation
of inspection results, determination of remaining life, and the
selection of the appropriate repair technique. Examples of practical
applications for the integrity assessment and repair techniques
are discussed to illustrate the methods and criteria. The course
addresses not only the Code requirements, but also their historical
and technical basis, which provides participants with the technical
foundation to make the correct integrity and repair decisions.
