This course 'Practical FFP assessment of pressure plant defects using API 579' is designed as a modular course that is tailored to the specific needs of offshore and onshore engineers working in the field of integrity assessment The course is based on manual calculation examples of the most straightforward API 579 modules. These are based on non-elevated temperature applications and exclude complex crack analysis. The course is specifically targeted at developing an understanding of the underlying principles rather than specific skills in using proprietary software.It is suitable for engineers with an interest in assessing corroded vessels/pipes, code and out-of-code assessments but without a detailed knowledge of stress analysis. You will need a reasonable (Secondary School) understanding of Maths. There is an end-of course test comprising multiple choice and descriptive questions (this does not include detailed calculations) with a pass mark of 70%.

NON-INTRUSIVE INSPECTION OF PROCESS VESSELS
TO DNV-RP-103

The advantages of NII

For most process operators there are clear advantages in replacing some traditional Internal Visual Inspections (IVI) with Non-Intrusive Inspections (NII) done from the outside of the vessel. Done properly, NII can reduce cost and mechanical disturbances of the plant, and allow better future planning for shutdowns when they do occur.

Simply replacing IVI with NII is rarely good enough so Integrity Managers need proper technical justification when presenting NII recommendations to clients. Clients, in turn, have to justify the decision to their enforcing authorities, and maintain an auditable trail of the technical decisions made.

DNV Recommended Practice document DNV-RP-103: 2010 is a compilation of sound engineering practice and proven experience obtained from oil and gas industry process vessels. It provides a detailed breakdown of the step-by-step NII decision-making process culminating in the writing of a NII Decision Guidance Report.

What are the training course benefits?

The Matthews Training course Non-Intrusive Inspection to DNV-RP-103 will provide delegates with the understanding of DNV-RP-103 necessary to be able to write an NII Decision Guidance Report for process vessels. Practical exercises are carried out using documentation record packs and previous inspection reports for actual vessels. This is supplemented by hand-on visual inspection of the vessels themselves in the training facility.

Is this an examined course?

Yes. To pass the course delegates have to demonstrate their learned knowledge of DNV-RP-103 by achieving a minimum 70% in  combined multichoice and narrative exam. In addition they have to produce an assessed individual NII decision guidance report to a high standard

Who should attend?

Delegates should have:

• A basic understanding of NDT and its limitations

• Knowledge of the content of written schemes of examination (WSEs)

• An understanding of how pressure plant inspection scopes and periodicities are decided in process operation and inspection companies

• Previous hands-on experience of inspecting vessels and producing inspection reports. Delegates without such engineering experience will find it difficult to meet the reporting requirements of the examination exercises.

Course booking

Fees for the public course are £1895 +VAT per delegate to include all necessary documents, course materials and examination/certification fees (excluding accommodation). Delegate PPE required. In-house courses can be arranged for 5+ delegates. To reserve a place contact us directly on enquiries@matthews-training.co.uk or 07732 799351
