Level :Skilled
Prerequisite :
Provide evidence of a professional experience of at least 1 month, related to the concerned field.
Course Content
FUNDAMENTALS OF RISK BASED INSPECTION
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
API 580 overview, concept, probability and consequence of failure, risk ranking.
API 580 methodology, benefits and limits, workforce and schedule necessary to perform RBI study.
API 581 scope, probability of failure based on management factor and statistical failure frequency.
QUANTITATIVE & SEMI-QUANTITATIVE RISK BASED INSPECTION APPROACH
-
Duration : 2 Days
Corrosion loops based on process conditions.
Design data and inspection data identification.
Damage factors identification based on corrosion standards such as API 571.
Calculate probability of failure based on damage factor - Quantitative approach using API581 workflow.
Calculate consequence of failure - Quantitative and semi-quantitative approach using API581 workflow.
Evaluate the overall risk on API matrix.
Define inspection strategy: mitigations actions or inspection scheduling extension.
Overview of available commercial software “RBEYE”.
Example of industrial RBI strategy implemented.
RBI semi quantitative approach based on simplified Excel spreadsheet.
APPLICATION OF THE RBI METHOD WITH MINI-PROJECTS CASE STUDIES
-
Duration : 2.5 Days
Application of API 581 RBI method using mini projects - Case studies as teamwork:
Select the appropriate corrosion loops and pressure vessels.
Identify the degradation.
Apply API 581 workflow to define POF, COF and overall risk.
Analyze the risk and propose: risk mitigation with more efficient NDT, adapt the inspection frequency.
Apply RBI semi quantitative approach based on simplified excel spreadsheet and compare the 2 methods.
Each group presents its RBI analysis and conclusion.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
identify the degradation modes following the analysis of a corrosion loop and implement compensatory measures,
valculate the criticality of pressure equipment,
establish an inspection plan for piping and containers in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Ways & Means
An interactive course based on actual case studies.
Learning assessment
Final quiz.
