API 571 Corrosion and Materials Certification Examination Preparatory
- The specialized API 571 Corrosion and Materials Certification is for engineers, inspectors, and industry professional that want a certification that demonstrates a knowledge of damage mechanisms seen in the refining, petrochemical, pulp, and paper industries. This knowledge of damage mechanisms and proper identification is step one in maintaining safe and reliable equipment. Quality assurance inspectors need to be well versed in the API 571 in order to apply to API 510, API 570, API 653, API 580, API 581, and API 579 codes. An understanding of damage mechanisms is necessary when evaluating the remaining life of equipment.
- The damage mechanisms covered in the API 571 course material are common to several industries including pulp and paper, refining and petrochemical, and fossil utility. The Atlas API 571 online training course will provide you with the necessary knowledge to pass the exam the first time.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand the purpose, scope, and examination of the critical steps in the API 571 process
- Assist participants in comprehending the various degradations and damages done on refinery equipment
- To be able to detect, analyze, and prevent refinery equipment degradation and damage
- To provide attendees with advanced information on equipment maintenance, both preventative and predictive,
- To understand the elements that cause damage, to properly monitor and inspect damage, and to prevent or mitigate damage mechanisms
- To demonstrate the interrelationship between material and service conditions by presenting example corrosion failures
- Assist participants in passing the certification exams. The course heavily relies on practical utility of this Recommended Practice by covering several examples, exercises and case studies
