Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Step confidently into one of the most respected technical disciplines in the oil, gas, refining, and petrochemical industries with this complete, industry-aligned training on the API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspection Code. Whether you are preparing for the API 510 certification examination, transitioning into a pressure equipment inspection role, or sharpening your skills as a working inspector, engineer.
You will begin with the foundations of API 510 - its scope, certification pathway, and how it links with ASME Section VIII, ASME Section V, ASME Section IX, ASME PCC-2, API 571, API 572, API 579, and API 580/581. From there, you will explore pressure vessel design, materials of construction, MAWP and MDMT, TMLs, corrosion rate calculations, and remaining life assessments. Dedicated modules dive deep into every major NDE technique (VT, UT, RT, MT, PT, PAUT, TOFD), damage mechanisms (CUI, SSC, CLSCC, HTHA, creep, brittle fracture, thermal fatigue), and full Fitness-for-Service workflows per API 579.
What truly sets this course apart is its practical orientation. You will work through real-world case studies from the UK, USA, Germany, and Singapore, plus advanced tips on TML optimization, multi-method NDE, statistical thickness trending, FFS screening, and stakeholder communication. By the final module, you will be able to plan inspections, calculate corrosion rates, evaluate damage, approve repairs and reratings, and prepare audit-ready documentation that stands up to any regulatory or third-party review.
