    The document discusses the ASME Plant Inspector Level 2 Certificate program and its body of knowledge (BoK). The Level 2 certification is intended for candidates with high-level technical knowledge and decision-making skills for positions with greater inspection and technical authority. It involves more difficult assessments than Level 1 that test both knowledge and experience evaluating issues like equipment integrity and fitness-for-purpose. The BoK covers topics including materials evaluation, inspection frequencies, corrosion assessment, non-intrusive inspection techniques, fitness-for-service assessments, and repair/replacement guidelines according to various international codes and standards.

    Matthews Training: ASME Plant Inspector Level 2 Certificate Body of Knowledge (BoK)

    Plant inspectors need a specific knowledge base in order to carry out the role of in-service inspection of static engineering plant and there are important differences in industry practices in technical topics such as inspection frequency, acceptability of corrosion, repair-v-replace decision, retiral guidelines etc

    The ASME Plant Inspector Certificate Program (PICP) is designed around a suite of different country inspection codes. Taken together they provide a broad coverage of the inspection practices used for the various equipment items and encompass a range of technical opinion. Emphasis is placed on the technical content of these codes rather than country-specific practices. The ASME Level 2 body of knowledge is based on the skills required when operating at a senior technical level, dealing with integrity and fitness-for-purpose issues and producing detailed technical reports. The ASME level 2 assessment is much more difficult than level 1.It is intended to identify the candidates who can demonstrate high level technical knowledge and decision-making skills required to progress to higher inspection/technical authority positions. The scope of the BoK and assessment includes: Mathematical ability to do basic code design reassessment and FFS calculations A wide scope of technical information to be absorbed in a short time Emphasis on written descriptions and justifications based on the candidates previous experience and the content of code documents. Assessments of candidates previous inspection experience by the way in which they express their knowledge of practical subjects such as welding and repairs of vessels, pipework and tanks. To incorporate these objectives, the level 2 assessment consists of: Continuous assessment during the course of the daily homework and classroom exercises (written and multi-choice)
