A Quick Guide To Api 653 Certified Storage Tank Inspector Syllabus

The API Individual Certification Programs (ICP) are well established in the oil/gas/petroleum industries. API runs multiple examination sites around the world at 6-monthly intervals. The three main ICPs are: API 570: Certified pipework inspector; API 510: Certified pressure vessel inspector; API 653: Certified storage tank inspector. Reviews one of API's three main ICPs: API 653: Certified storage tank inspector Discusses key definitions and scope, inspection regimes and testing techniques relating to tank design, linings, welds, protection systems, repair and alteration API Individual Certification Programs (ICP) are well established in the oil/gas/petroleum industries

The API Individual Certification Programs (ICPs) are well established worldwide in the oil, gas, and petroleum industries.

The US market for ASTs approached $2.0 miilion in 1995 as underground tanks have caused groundwater contamination are replaced with ASTs. All those who must wade through AST compliance paperwork should find this handbook to be a comprehensive reference guide. Four sections include markets, regulations, manufacturing standards and products. Conclusive guidance to new and existing field-erected and shop-built products with installation instructions are are included. Comprehensive appendices compile manufacturers, trade associations, codes, sizing calculations and tank data sheets are provided.

This industry guide is intended for inspectors or other individuals involved in the source inspection of new construction of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, fabricated piping and other fixed equipment. Source inspections is a broad technical subject involving a wide variety of technologies and manufacturing capability. Large EPC contracts with multi-national manufacturing bring their own requirements for coordination, specification compliance and the quality of manufacturers. Worldwide the adoption of ASME, API, and EN codes in diverse industries helps to bring a sound technical base to specifications and the activities of source inspection. Part A: SOURCE INSPECTION OF FIXED EQUIPMENT The role of the source inspector; tactics of source inspection (how to do it); inspecting materials; inspecting NDE; inspecting pressure vessels; inspecting valves; inspecting structures and steelwork; inspecting surface preparation and painting;. Part B: API SIFE EXAM PREPARATION The API Individual Certificate Program; the API SIFE exam - what to expect; the SIFE body of knowledge and study guide; metallurgy and materials; non-destructive evaluation (NDE); welding processes; structural steelwork; pipework; pressure vessels; valves and components; pressure testing; surface preparation.
