By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• To introduce participants to an overview of commonly adopted codes and standards in Oil & Gas, Petrochemical Industries
• To explain to participants the Code objectives, Code intents, and code applications.
• To familiarize participants with the concepts and technical terms of ASME and API Engineering Codes and standards.
• To provide participants a step-by-step approach in the use of these Codes, including the optimization techniques.
• To introduce participants with various design conditions, design rules
• Be able to understand limitations imposed by various codes on material for construction for pressure components
• To familiarize participants with the main In-service inspection codes
• To introduce participants to different ways of inspection, evaluations, and decision making.
• Choose Most cost-effective approach towards making the 3
• ‘R’ decisions i.e. Repair Rerate, or Replace.
• Assessment of future remaining life, Repair methods as per API codes
• Be able to choose the appropriate inspection tools and inspection intervals
• To trace similarities and differences between various 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.
