The aim of this comprehensive training course is to provide the delegates with knowledge on how to easily pass and obtain the API 570 authorized process piping inspector certification as well as:

• Identify the various design conditions of piping components, materials, fabrication, assembly, erection, inspection, examination and testing as well as demonstrate nondestructive test methods
• Employ post weld heat treatment; identify the charpy impact testing, also the working pressure and temperature requirements for pipework flanges
• Positive Material Identification (PMI) requirements and procedures
• Carryout welding discontinuities and discuss ASME section IX WPS &WPQ and PQR
