API 576 - Inspection of Pressure-Relieving Devices
- API RP 576 is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of pressure-relieving devices inspection in accordance with API 576. It covers the recommended practice that describes the inspection and repair practices for automatic pressure-relieving devices commonly used in the oil and petrochemical industries. As a guide to the inspection and repair of these devices in the user’s plant, it is intended to ensure their proper performance.
- During API RP 576 course, participants will be able to describe the plugging and sticking, misapplication of materials, improper location, history or identification and rough handling; the improper differential between operating and set pressures, improper discharge piping test procedures and improper handling, installation and selection of rupture disks; the inspection and testing of pressure relieving devices; the shop inspection and overhauling, visual on-stream inspection, inspection frequency and time of inspection; and the records and reports, its objectives, responsibilities, sample records and report systems.
Learning Outcomes
- Inspect pressure relieving devices in accordance with the international standard API 576
- Recognize the dimensional characteristics of pressure-relief valves as well as the operational characteristics of system and device pressures
- Discuss pressure-relief devices including pressure-relief valve, safety valve, relief valve, safety-relief valve, conventional and balanced safety-relief valve, pilot operated pressure relief valve, pressure and vacuum vent valve and rupture disk device
- Analyze the causes of improper performance of pressure relieving devices in corrosion, damaged seating surfaces, failed spring, improper setting and adjustment
- Describe plugging and sticking, misapplication of materials, improper location, history or identification and rough handling
- Determine improper differential between operating and set pressures, improper discharge piping test procedures and improper handling, installation and selection of rupture disks
- Inspect and test pressure relieving devices in a professional manner
- Carryout shop inspection and overhauling, visual on-stream inspection, inspection frequency and time of inspection
Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:
