COURSE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
Fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment plays an important role in the evaluation of residual properties of structures in-service to determine if an operation can be continued safely or repair/replacement is needed based on specific conditions during a determined time. Apart from ensuring the safety of an operation, it enables assessment of the reliability if assets over a period of time allowing companies to anticipate and prepare for repairs or replacement of assets in terms of budgeting and cost without having to shutdown operations due to structural failures.
An asset in operation may undergo time dependent degradation, exposed to a harsh environment or there may be an interaction between the material and fluid it contains. Hence, it is crucial that an inspection is carried out periodically. If it has been found during an inspection that a certain condition of the asset might impact its operation in the future such as corrosion or distortion, it is important that FFS assessment is conducted especially for assets being operated at high temperatures and pressure. Besides, FFS assessment is required when an asset has undergone an event that may have affected its serviceability, being commissioned to another operation after being used in a different service or when the asset has exceeded its useful life.
Some of the common FFS assessment procedures include the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the American Petroleum Institute document API 579/ASME FFS-1. These codes provide assessment based on various operating conditions and structural flaws. Generally, FFS assessment is classified into 3 levels where each level provides a more detailed assessment as the levels increase.
- List of Parts and Annexes in Fitness-for-service Assessment.
- Degradation Mechanism of a Material.
- Levels of Fitness-for-service Assessment.
- Fitness-for-Service assessment procedure.
- Finite Element Analysis.
WHO SHOULD JOIN US TO :
- Engineers.
- Consultants.
- Anyone interested in safety inspection and evaluation.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify fundamental principles of fitness-for-service and their practical application.
- Understand the steps involved in the evaluation process for each type of degradation mechanism.
Apply FFS codes and material properties based on the operating conditions to evaluate the integrity and remaining life of an asset.
1. Associate Professor Dr Saravanan Karuppanan
Dr Kee Kok Eng is a teaching faculty Mechanical Engineering Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) as well as an active core researcher of Centre for Corrosion Research (CCR), specializing in oilfiled corrosion issue, stress corrosion cracking, cooling water chemical corrosion, autoclave test, corrosion inhibitor (CI), materials failure investigation, and multiphase flow. Since 2014, he has been actively involved in a number of industrial consultancy work from upstream oil producers and chemical service providers. He is also authors and co-authors of a number of peer-reviewed journals on corrosion and material science. He is also a corrosion committee member of IMM and international NACE member.
