Piping Design Construction & Mechanical Integrity
-
When doing maintenance, repairs, and modifications, piping defect issues may arise. Be prepared to conduct an inspection of piping and pipeline systems in accordance with API 570 body of knowledge.
This course ensures that plant operators, maintenance, project staffs, and inspectors are competent and knowledgeable in design piping systems as per ASME B31.3/31.4/31.8 design standards.
