API 580/581 RISK BASED

INSPECTION PROFESSIONAL
CERTIFICATION PREPARATION PROGRAM
COURSE DURATION: 4 DAYS
An intensive course with daily homework & a final exam (similar to API 580 exam); special emphasis
on the use of related codes, probability & estimations. Study Guide is provided for pre-class study.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Risked Based Inspection (RBI) has quickly become one of the industrys premiere instruments and
preferred methods of inspection. The API 580 Advanced Risk Based Inspection Professional program is
designed to enhance the knowledge of RBI among specialized inspectors, engineers and other professionals
across the entire petrochemical industry.
This course is the first step for people who are interested in Risk-Based Inspection (RBI). The fundamental
concepts of RBI and its reliance on understanding damage mechanisms (API 571) and fitness for
service concepts (API 579) will be introduced.
The intended purpose of this course is to prepare the student for the API 580 examination (Risk Based
Inspection).
NOTE: This is an introductory course for people with little or no experience with RBI. This will cover the
BASIC organization and concepts of Risk Based Inspection.

WORTH MILLIONS / BILLIONS
DO NOT TAKE RISKS!!
Its also about Safety, Reliability, Availability & Minimizing
Liability of Fixed Equipment
The course explains feasible means and alternatives for achieving a
successful RBI program without undue complications. It deals with
RBI framework and methodology in a simple straight forward
manner to establish and implement a risk-based inspection program
best suited for the company objectives. Its utility is based on the
premise that a few vital pieces of equipment in a process plant
contributes a majority of the risk. Consequently, if this high risk
equipment can be identified, then testing and inspection can be
focused on them rather than several low-risk items.
RBI helps to prioritize equipment for inspection, optimize inspection
