| API 653 above ground storage tank inspection code certification course | 06-Oct | 10-Oct | T.B.A |
Details :
This training course will focus on learning the API 653 tank
inspection Code as well knowledge of the API 571, API 575, API 650, API 652,
API 651, API 577, ASME Section V and ASME Section IX. The delegates will
further receive instructions on how to take the API Exam, as well as
understanding of the material.
Topics include:
- Tank
Shell and bottom Min. Thickness Calculation
- Maximum
Allowable Fill Height Calculation
- Brittle
Fracture Considerations
- Tank
Joints Design, fabrication and welding
- Cathodic
Protection and Methods of Cathodic Protection
- Surface
Preparation and Lining Application
- Impact
Test Requirements and Determination
- Development
and Review of Welding Documentation
The aim of this comprehensive training course is to
provide the delegates at the end of this training course with:
- Enough
knowledge and skills to pass such exam and attain the API 653
certification
- Identify
the API 653 Scopes, Suitability for Service, evaluation of the tank Shell
and Min. accepted thickness also the maximum allowable fill Height
- Evaluation
of the tank Bottom, including settlement and release prevention Systems
(RPS)
- Recognize
the reasons for Inspection and Causes of Deterioration
- Determination
of Need for Cathodic Protection and Methods of Cathodic Protection
- Employ
post weld heat treatment, identify the charpy impact testing
