Temperatures Fitness-for-Service (FFS) Assessments

MC112 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE MC113 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE
This two-day MasterClass provides insight into important aspects of This two-day MasterClass is designed to provide practical knowledge
performance of materials and its relation to design and residual life and in-depth examination of the Fitness-For-Service (FFS) Assessment
assessments of components. Methods in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1.
Presented in two parts, the class will address two main topics: A review of the FFS assessment levels will be provided along with a
“Structural Materials and Damage in Elevated and High Temperature discussion on what constitutes a “best-buy;” assessment examples
