Practitioner "Repair of Pressure Equipment & Piping"
Program Overview
COURSE DESCRIPTION
ASME PCC-2 training course is a must for everyone who handles inspection and repair of pressure equipment. ASME PCC-2 provides methods for repair of equipment and piping after they have been placed in service. Many of these repairs are permitted and recommended under In-Service Inspection Codes such as API 510, 570 or 653. These repair methods include the relevant design, fabrication, examination, and testing practices and may be temporary or permanent.
This training course is designed to give logical step-by-step procedures for selecting and implementing the correct remedial actions. The participants would be explained in detail the mechanics of adopting and applying the rules of ASME PCC-2, for day-to-day use in their professional work by explaining several real-life case studies and problem-solving. Not only will the various repair methods be covered but an overview of the most common welding processes such as GTAW, SMAW, FCAW and GMAW, including the advantages and disadvantages of each. These welding principles are also covered in our Welding Inspector course.
