• Describe pipe sizing attendees should understand how and why inspection technologies are
• Explain pressure drop calculations selected and used in typical applications. After completing this course,
• Describe the process of pump and equipment sizing and selection attendees will grasp the fact that the responsibility for “getting it right”
• Describe the preparation of equipment specifications and drawings (i.e., a pipeline has good integrity) rests with the pipeline operator.
• Identify piping specifications
• Explain the process of instrumentation and process control You Will Learn To
• Describe the process of piping component familiarization, including • Identify pipeline defect types that cause failure
valves and fittings, piping hangers and supports • Explain why particular ILI technologies should be used for specific
defect types
Who Should Attend • Explain why or why not ILI is applicable to various defect types
