Although Carbon steel has been the first and widely used material in oil fields and other industry, today close to a hundred alloys and metals are used in various extracting and refining activities. Yet failures do happen, some of them leading to disastrous ends resulting in loss of assets and lives. . Plant and machinery designed with carbon steel material some three decades ago are now operating in the most demanding and aggressive conditions. Therefore Plant and machinery reliability has become a key issue in the interest of personnel safety, while total productivity and maintenance is a matter of equal importance Do metals fail due to normal out only or do they suffer from stress, fatigue and have ageing problems as humans? What are the tools available to test the reliability of old and new material? What are codes and standards for correct and economical material selection?

Objective

This course is designed to discuss in detail all physical and chemical properties of materials and testing methods specially of carbon steel; the benefits of heat treatment; The usage of other non ferrous and non metallic material; and an over view of API and ASME Codes and standards.

Audience

A condensed course on metallurgy for all plant inspectors, process engineers, and maintenance engineers who are interested in knowing why some components fail more often than expected- A Corrosion awareness- For plant operators/ engineers who are interested in learning about fitness for service of plant and equipment- For Managers interested in health safety and environment in case of unintended plant failure-for Managers interested in MRO and plant maintenance cost to know about alternative material.
This is a value added package

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course. All presentations are made in excellent colorful power point. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
