API RECOMMENDED PRACTICE 582

Who should attend?

• Welding Engineers
• Welding Technicians
• Inspection Personnel
• Maintenance Personnel

API RP 582, Welding Guidelines for the Chemical, Oil, and Gas Industries is a recommended practice developed and published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that provides supplementary guidelines and practices for welding and welding related topics for shop and field fabrication, repair, and modification of pressure-containingequipment, tanks, and other equipment or component items. It is intended to supplement the welding requirements found in codes such as ASME BPVC Section IX.

Objectives:

• Understand the use and application of welding techniques and standards
• Understand the various types of welding joints​
• Learn about the different types of electrodes and standards​
• Appreciate the variations of welding various types of metals​
• Know, through the study of basic metallurgy, how heat treatment may be used to overcome some of the problems associated with welding, including the HAZ and define the basic types of welding defects and failure​
• Learn how NDT can be used to detect weld defects.​
• Understand how to apply materials testing techniques to examine the strength and quality of welded joints​
• Gain an understanding of corrosion test methods and interpretation of results
