Standards and Codes in Process Industry
Course Description
This training course is designed to give a detailed insight to the participants for understanding of ASME and API Codes and Standards with emphasis on the right approach and method for using the codes. It helps the participants to understand the Code objectives, Code intents, stated and implied requirements (i.e. letter and spirit of the code).It also helps the participants to know the mandatory, recommended and optional stipulations of the code. The course covers an overview of ASME and API codes and standards used in Process Industries for design, inspection, construction and in-service inspection. The course will be delivered in such a way that most of the code concepts will be clarified by both the code statements and the relevant examples. The course also deals in: What is Code and what is standard (the difference between them), Selection of appropriate code and standard for the intended application, where one can take deviations from code etc. The course is designed such that participants with previous background of using the codes will understand the most effective and scientific use of codes for their purpose while the fresher will understand the correct approach and right use of the codes.

Design engineers, Mechanical engineers, and Plant managers, with or without experience in the application of Codes & standards. Design Engineers, Project Engineers, Inspection Engineers, maintenance engineers, and technicians will find this course valuable for them. Inspection, maintenance, and quality assurance personnel who work in the Chemical, Petroleum, Utilities, Petrochemical Plants, Fertilizer Plants, etc, will find it a time-saving means to broaden and update their knowledge of codes and standards.

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.
