TENTATIVE COURSE OUTLINE FOR API 570 TRAINING SEMINAR
(All times/dates are approximate)

To many people outside the United States, the API approach may appear unusual, so you must assume the stance from which the code approaches the subject matter. We put the API Inspector at the centre of everything that has to do with the mechanical integrity of pipe systems. He serves as a gatekeeper, ensuring that everything that has to be done is done.

The Pressure Piping exam assumes that an inspector may be completely alone in some situations, so we must assess his ability to be competent in all aspects of piping mechanical integrity, beginning with materials, design, fabrication, assembly, testing, and inspection and progressing to in-service deterioration, repairs, and fitness for service.

The American Petroleum Institute (API Standard 570) Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Rerating of Pressure Piping is intended to address concerns that arise during in-service pressure piping inspection, assessment, and repair. It was created to bridge the gap between design rules that solely deal with structural difficulties based on pressure and loading and do not address deterioration.

The American Society Of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) pressure piping design code ASME B 31.3 is discussed and referenced in API 570. However, it is clearly stated in 570 that the principles can be applied to pressure piping designed in accordance with any code.
