Integrity and Repair of Process Piping
and Tanks
ASME Pipeline Technology
MC144 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE

The evaluation of the integrity of process piping systems and tanks for and Standards Training …
continued operation is a common concern for upstream, transmission
and storage and downstream operations. The questions at hand are a five-day training event
how to determine the damage mechanisms that affect piping systems
and tanks, how to inspect them, determine their remaining life, make
run-or-repair decision and choose among repair options.
This two-day MasterClass provides an overview of the methods and October 31 – November 4, 2016
criteria for inspection of piping systems and tanks, evaluation of
inspection results, determination of remaining life, and the selection of Houston, Texas
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
You Will Learn To
• Identify the general forms of damage mechanisms Learn directly from Pipeline experts and ASME Code leaders
• Describe the methods and standards for the development of as they discuss best practice standards and practical ways to
risk-based inspections of PCC-3 and API-580/581 address real world design and safety issues.
• Apply the rules of API-579 / ASME FFS-1 to determine remaining
life of piping systems and tanks
• Explain how to apply ASME Post-Construction Code PCC-2 methods The training event will consist of multiple courses,
for welded repairs, mechanical repairs and non-metallic repairs
including:
