Saskatoon, SK
|
May 23 - 24, 2013 * Please take note of the changed date
Course Code: 03-1013-2263
After participating in this course, you will be able to:
become familiar with ASME Section 5 Non-Destructive Testing and ASME Section 8 Pressure Vessels
develop an understanding of the requirements for compliance with ASME Section 5 Non-Destructive
Testing and ASME Section 8 Pressure Vessels
appreciate the concept and application of Due Diligence
Description
Regulations, Codes and Standards are an essential component of all industrial and manufacturing facilities. Regulations dictate the standards to be applied and refer to specific codes and standards. Failure to comply does not only jeopardize safety and the environment but also carries penalties such as fines and possibly imprisonment. Compliance by all staff levels from Senior Management to hourly paid workers is required. Application of the required Regulations, Codes and Standards costs money. Consequently the correct and appropriate application is necessary not only for compliance but also for economic reasons.
This course is Part 1 of a series of courses designed to explain what, where and when various codes (ASME, API, ASTM, ANSI, CSA, etc.) are to be applied.
In this course ASME Section 5 and ASME Section 8 codes will be covered. Finally the course will discuss Due Diligence i.e. to be seen to be doing the right thing.
Note: This course is the first of a series of courses on Industrial Codes to be offered by EPIC.
Objectives
To provide an understanding of the requirements of the codes
To show how and where the codes are to be applied
To explain the code applications for different industries
To provide an understanding of Due Diligence
To illustrate with examples how to perform fitness-for service assessment
