Save up to $685 by enrolling in VCPD771, a combo course consisting of this course (VCPD770) and VCPD769, “Boilers and Fired Pressure Equipment Operation and Maintenance (Virtual Classroom).”
Schedule: the Course will run from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM and 2:00PM to 6:00 PM Eastern each day.
The purpose of inspection is to determine operational integrity, ensure reliability, and improve performance of boiler plants and fried pressure vessels. Such equipment is required to be inspected at a regular interval by an inspector who is qualified by a jurisdiction or by the plant owner. The inspection is performed in accordance with the jurisdictional requirements, inspection standards or national codes.
The purpose of repairs and alterations is to ensure that boilers and fired equipment is maintained in a manner that ensures they are safe and reliable for continued operation. Repairs and Alterations must be completed by authorized personnel or organizations in conjunction with the original code of construction.
This course has been designed to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge of boiler and fired pressure equipment inspection from the Codes and Standards. The course also covers jurisdictional requirements, code requirements, and methods for repairs and alteration.
The techniques and requirements of boiler inspection are covered by the following Codes and Standards:
NB23 – 2019 National Board Inspection Code
ASME POM 101 – 2013 (R2019) Performance – Related Outage Inspection
ASME POM 102 – 2014 (R2019) Operating Walkdowns of Power Plants
ASME Section VI – 2019 Recommended Rules for the Care and Operation of Heating Boilers
ASME Section VII – 2019 Recommended Guidelines for the Care of Power Boilers
API RP 573 – 2013 Inspection of Fired Boilers and Heaters
You Will Learn To
- Identify the appropriate codes and standards for inspection, repair, and alteration based on the types of boilers and fired pressure equipment.
