Preparation Course for

PIPING INSPECTOR Certification

4 – 8 May 2015 l Bandung, Indonesia

COURSE OBJECTIVE
The main emphasis of this program is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the design, inspection and
maintenance of process piping based on API 570 standards. Process piping system is one of the critical production
assets in process industry. How to adopt code rules for your plant’s process piping system and various service
conditions will be illustrated with numerous case studies. Important codes will be reviewed and discussed so as to
address the difficulties and ambiguities you might have encountered during working.
