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.
Learning objectives
- Review project forms and documents including Standards and specifications.
- Inspect and test raw materials.
- Inspect, test and analyze pipes prior to mill coating, between coating stages and post coating.
- Apply repair coating.
- Perform Laboratory testing for coating validation.
- Follow procedures for shipping, handling and transportation.
- Adhere to Safety and compliance procedures and standards
- Differentiate between postproduction testing and online post application testing
Course completion
This course will be in a traditional classroom with instructor lectures and discussion. Classroom time will include group activities and case studies to solidify the importance of inspection, proper application, standards, and procedures.
The course will conclude with opportunities to practice inspection and testing techniques for various stages of the coating application and post-coating process.
