1. Education and Experience: Applicants should typically have at least one year of experience in an industrial setting or a combination of education and work experience. The minimum education criteria are a high school diploma or equivalent.
2. Experience in Inspection Role: A significant amount of work experience should be directly related to the inspection of in-service piping systems. The actual requirement may vary depending on your education.
3. Knowledge: Students should have a good understanding of basic piping system, damage mechanisms, welding, metallurgy, corrosion, equipment, and crack analysis.
4. Basic Skills: Proficiency in math and physics, and a general understanding of engineering principles is a must.
5. API Code Knowledge: Knowledge of API and ASME codes is also required.
6. Computer Skills: Basic computer skills, including familiarity with word processing and spreadsheet software are helpful for the online learning style of many API 570 courses.
7. Language Proficiency: Most courses will be taught in English, so proficiency in reading, writing, and understanding English is important.
8. Completion of API 510: Some courses require you to complete the API 510 – Pressure Vessel Inspection Code course before enrolling in API 570.
Remember, actual prerequisites may vary depending on the specific training provider. I advise you to check the specific requirements of the institute where you plan to enroll.
Target Audience
The target audience for the API 570 Training Course primarily includes inspectors, engineers, and other technical personnel in the
oil and gas industry
This may include Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) inspectors, reliability engineers, mechanical engineers, or maintenance engineers who are involved in the inspection, operation, or maintenance of pipework
Professionals who work in refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, or other industrial settings where pipe systems are a critical component may also benefit from this course
This course also caters to individuals who are preparing for the API 570 Piping Inspector Certification exam, seeking to enhance their understanding of code requirements, inspection procedures, and damage mechanisms related to pressurized piping systems
Learning Objectives of API 570 Training Course
The API 570 Training Course aims to provide trainees with the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct inspection and maintenance of piping systems. This includes understanding the codes, standards, and regulations associated with these systems. The training also encompasses recognizing different types of damage and degradation, as well as the methods to assess their severity. Learners will further develop their knowledge on conducting inspections, what types of records should be kept and how to estimate the remaining life of these systems. This course is designed to equip participants with practical skills to ensure the safety and reliability of piping infrastructure within various industries.
