Pressure Testing Safety
A working-knowledge course for technicians, test supervisors, mechanical and pipeline crews, inspectors and permit holders who plan, carry out or witness pressure and leak tests on piping, vessels, pipelines and equipment in oil and gas, refining and petrochemical plants. It covers stored energy, choosing the test, the test pack and roles, test equipment and closures, exclusion zones, running and inspecting the test, failures, depressurising, disposal, reinstatement and records. It is awareness training and awards no accredited certificate; the design code, the engineer and your company procedure always set the test pressure and the safe distances.
