COURSE OVERVIEW

This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes reallife case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

Engineering materials are the cornerstone of oil and gas facilities and process plants. Material quality has a direct effect on the mechanical integrity, safety and cost effective operation of the petroleum facility. Material acceptability is controlled by relevant codes and standards.

Proper inspection procedures shall be followed before accepting the materials by the engineers. This course is designed to provide participants with an upto- date overview of the engineering materials and their inspection process. It covers materials technology applied in the oil and gas industry that includes fabrication methods, technical specifications, testing, inspection and preservation techniques; the types of materials used in oil and gas industry; the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of materials; classifying and specifying material as well as identifying the ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics and composite materials; the material processing, heat treatment, material selection, metallurgy, NDT techniques and materials fabrication/construction techniques; the material defects and material corrosion mechanisms; and material requisition as per the standards and code requirements.

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to illustrate material management cycle, material preservation technology and material inspection; inspect and test material; distinguish the acceptance/rejection criteria during the inspection process; verify material certificates availability as per purchase order for materials received; complete “Certificates Receipt Reports” as per verification results; communicate with user departments on resolving material inspection and certification issues; complete “Certificates Issue Reports” as per user department requests for materials; perform technical report writing; complete “Transfer To Disposal” forms for user consideration; and ensure that all rejected materials are segregated and kept in quarantine or disposal area in conjunction with warehouse supervisor.
