Technical Personnel involved in the inspection.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course the participants will be able to:
Increase the awareness and understanding of mechanical integrity of process equipment and piping systems depends jointly on the proper design, operation, condition assessment, and maintenance of the equipment, underscoring their vital individual and team roles in managing change.
Get practical and sound methods and tools to enable them to carry out basic design calculations for pressure equipment following applicable industrial codes, standards, and best practices.
Get a clear understanding of the degradation mechanisms that process equipment could be subjected to over their operating life, how to identify them, predict and determine their impact, and what appropriate measures can be taken to prevent and control the resultant damage.
Gain the knowledge and failure analysis skills they need to conduct damage and failure analysis to prevent similar failures from happening.
Enhance the knowledge and skills in hazard identification and analysis, and risk assessment and management.
Targeted Competencies:
Piping materials information, including Pipe support details, including Fluid characteristics, including
"As-exists" conditions, including the following: If warranted, to perform safety valve discharge analysis, the following are required
If warranted, to perform turbine trip analysis, the following are required
Information required to perform other transient load analyses would be requested on an as-needed basis

Unit 7: Perform other transient load analyses would be requested on an as-needed basis:
It is important to note that the information involving the piping segments supplied by the boiler and turbine manufacturers will likely not be found with the plant piping specifications and will require the review of specific drawings/information associated with the individual suppliers
