API 570 EXAM PREPARATION COURSE

Course Overview
This course is designed to provide delegates with a comprehensive overview of the
latest API 570 certification program. It will prepare the inspectors to pass the API 570
examination in order for them to be certified as API 570 Inspectors. Course participants
will receive in-depth instruction on the applicable codes and standards (API and
ASME).

The course covers the inspection, repair, alteration and rerating of in-service piping
systems; the API 570 body of knowledge; the inspection and testing practices,
frequency and extent of inspection, inspection data evaluation, analysis and recording,
repairs, alteration and rerating of piping systems as well as inspection of buried piping;
the scope, piping components, reasons for inspection, inspecting for deterioration in
piping, frequency and time of inspection; the safety precautions and preparatory work;
and the inspection tools, inspection procedures, determination of retirement thickness
and records.

Course Objectives
Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:-

• Prepare for the next API 570 exam and have enough knowledge and skills to pass
such exam in order to get the API 570 certification

• Perform the inspection, repair, alteration and rerating of in-service piping systems

• Review API 570 body of knowledge, scope, references, definitions, owner and user
inspection organization

• Discuss inspection and testing practices, frequency and extent of inspection,


inspection data evaluation, analysis and recording, repairs, alteration and rerating of
piping systems as well as inspection of buried piping

• Identify the scope, piping components, reasons for inspection, inspecting for
deterioration in piping, frequency and time of inspection, and employ safety
precautions and preparatory work as well as inspection tools, inspection procedures,
determination of retirement thickness and records

• Enumerate the various design conditions and criteria, pressure design of piping
components, fluid service requirements for piping components, fluid service
requirements for piping joints, piping flexibility, materials, fabrication, assembly and
erection, inspection, examination and testing as well as demonstrate nondestructive
test methods

• Discuss ASME section IX WPS and PQR

Who Should Attend


This course prepares participants for the API 570 exam. It is designed for those who
are involved in the inspection, repair, alteration and re-rating of in-service piping
systems. This mainly includes inspectors and inspection engineers who are seeking
API-570 certification. Other engineers, managers, mechanical design draftsmen or
technical staffs who are dealing with piping systems will definitely benefit from this
course.
