Repair of Pressure Equipment & Piping (Conforms to ASME Codes)
Course Description
This course provides methods for repair of equipment and piping within the scope of ASME Pressure Technology Codes and Standards after it has been placed in service. These repair methods include relevant design, fabrication, examination, and testing practices and may be temporary or permanent, depending on the circumstances. The methods provided in this course address the repair of components when repair is deemed necessary based on appropriate inspection and flaw assessment. These inspection and flaw evaluation methods are not covered in this document, but are covered in other post-construction codes and standards. It also covers technical procedures and information.

This course will cover topics such as an introduction to weld repairs, differentiation in requirements between production and in-service-repairs, considerations for weld repair (including decision tree), qualification requirements, industry best practices, techniques for weld repair such as temper bead/controlled deposition repair, novel repair technologies such as taper stitch welding, repair methodologies for different types of failure mechanisms such as creep, SSCC, corrosion damage and clad repair. This course provides guidance on various types and methods of repairs to piping, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and similar equipment.
