Failure Prevention, Repair & Life Extension of Piping, Vessels and Tanks

Turin, Italy
Monday 11 – Wednesday 13 June 2012
3 Days

Course Code: PD 077 | Accreditation: 2.3 CEUs, 23 PDHs | Instructor: George Antaki 

Purchasing, fabricating, maintaining and repairing equipment at the lowest possible cost while assuring non-failure is always a priority. You will examine case studies detailing companies who have saved millions of dollars through planned and supervised procedures. We will also review comparisons with similar situations in other plants where lack of available experience and expertise resulted in unnecessary dismantling and/or replacement of the same parts or components. Participants will receive the textbook, Fitness for Service & Integrity of Piping Vessels and Tanks by George Antaki, and the codebook, PCC-2 Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping.

You Will Learn

• To detect types and causes of failures
• To interpret nondestructive test results properly
• To take the right decision on equipment life extensio
• To analyze financial considerations before you repair/replace

Who Should Attend
Users, manufacturers, repair organization and inspection agency representatives involved in repair of alterations of pressure vessels, boilers, piping, tanks, compressors, turbines, heat exchangers, digesters, valves and gears.
