Fixed Equipment Integrity and Fitness-for-Service

This course provides practical knowledge on assessing the integrity and serviceability of fixed equipment in oil & gas, focusing on degradation mechanisms, inspection practices, and fitness-for-service evaluations per API 579.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify common degradation mechanisms in fixed equipment.
• Conduct inspection planning and apply NDT methods effectively.
• Perform fitness-for-service assessments per API 579.
• Evaluate repair or replacement decisions based on asset condition.
• Enhance operational safety and minimize equipment failure risks.

1. Degradation Mechanisms and Risk Factors
2. Inspection Planning, NDT Techniques and Intervals
3. Fitness-for-Service Framework (API 579)
4. Case-Based FFS Level 1 & Level 2 Assessments
5. Repair, Replacement, and Life Extension Strategies

Inspection engineers, plant integrity teams, reliability professionals, and maintenance managers involved in fixed equipment evaluations.

API-based analysis, case exercises, inspection walkdowns, and evaluation templates.

Participants will return equipped with technical strategies for evaluating and managing the fitness-for-service of fixed assets in complex operating environments.
