Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE): Application and Inspection

This course takes a deep dive into industry standards, providing foundational knowledge and experiential learning opportunities for colleagues working across the FBE value chain. It emphasizes proper inspection techniques to be performed before, during, and after coating operations, and includes evaluation, testing, and mitigation elements such as laboratory ring sample testing and coating repair methods. It was developed specifically to address known workforce deficiencies across the value chain that, if not mitigated, could have potentially severe negative impacts on life, property, and/or environment.

The FBE course topics include:

  • Introduction to FBE
  • Components and Chemistry
  • Project Forms
  • Raw Material Arrival
  • Pre-Coating Process
  • Coating Application Process
  • Post-Coating, Repair, and Damage Mitigation
  • Laboratory Testing
  • Safety

Please note: An accompanying certification is currently in development. When you purchase this course, you’ll receive a voucher for the exam once it’s available. We’ll keep you informed as progress continues.
