FE0089 : API Codes (Rotary and Static Equipment)

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview on API Codes (Rotary & Static Equipment). It covers the role of API standards in industrial applications; the classification of API codes and the distinction between rotary and static equipment and the relevant codes; the scope and application of API 610 in pump design and operation, the key requirements and applications of steam turbines; the special-purpose steam turbines for petroleum and chemical industries; the importance of API codes for compliance and safety; the application and key points in the design and operation of gear units; and the lubrication systems and their critical  role in rotary equipment. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the gas turbine requirements for industrial applications; the key standards for compressors and expander-compressors used in the industry; designing, maintaining and inspecting reciprocating compressors; addressing the common operational challenges and the role of API standards in troubleshooting; the design and construction of welded steel tanks; the tank inspection, repair, alteration and reconstruction of storage tanks; the heat exchanger design and application in industrial operations; and the air-cooled heat exchangers and their applications. 

 

During this intellective course, participants will learn the large, welded, and low-pressure storage tanks design and construction in accordance with API 620; the inspection and maintenance of static equipment and pressure vessel; the key requirements and applications of the piping inspection code; the evaluation of existing equipment for continued service and operation; the role of risk-based inspection (RBI) in maintaining the integrity of rotary and static equipment; the quality control during refractory installation in static equipment and maintaining equipment integrity and reliability; integrating API codes for operational decision-making; the API certification process for inspectors and operators; the latest updates in API standards related to rotary and static equipment; and the challenges faced in complying with API standards and strategies for overcoming them.
