API 510 Certification Preparation

Course Length: Six full days (60 hrs), with optional evening study sessions
Cost: $1200
Instructor: Mark Smith, Reggie Thomson or Keith Devall

This class is designed for pressure equipment inspectors and engineers working in refineries, chemical
plants, gas plants, pipeline terminals, and oil fields.

Course Overview
The course prepares the student for the API 510 exam. The course is an intensive one-week course with a
heavy emphasis on the use of the codes and mathematical calculations. This course content includes:
 Using Section VIII 1 day  API 510 1 day
 Vessel Calculations 2 days  Other ½ day
 Section IX Welding 1 day  Exam ½ day

Objectives
The course provides participants with the knowledge necessary to:
 Successfully pass the API 510 pressure vessel inspector certification exam* (see our guarantee)
 Effectively use major codes: ASME B&PV Sections V, VIII, & IX
 Perform all basic vessel calculations needed for the API exam (e.g. t min, test pressure, MAWP,
static head, MDMT, corrosion rates, remaining life, etc.)
 Use API’s requirements during inspection, repairs, and alterations of pressure vessels
 Review welding procedures (WPS/PQR) and welder performance qualifications (WPQ)

Class Participants
Students should have 3 years of experience at a petrochemical facility and have at least 1 year of inspection
experience. There are no required class prerequisites.

Notes
This is an intense course with daily homework and a final exam (similar to the API 510 exam). A study
guide is issued to direct participant’s pre-class study. We recommend the student stay at the class hotel.

To obtain application for API 510 certification, see: www.api.org/icp

Bring to Class
Students should bring to class: a calculator, a straight edge (or triangle), pencils, highlighters, lots of
questions, and a “can-do” attitude. Also, participants must bring the appropriate codes required for the
API exam (see API web-site: www.api.org/icp )

Required Codes for Exam


ASME B&PV Codes: API Codes:
Section V Non-Destructive Examination API 510 Pressure Vessel Code
Section VIII Construction of Pressure Vessels API 571 Degradation Mechanisms
Section IX Welding Qualifications API 572 Inspection of Pressure Vessels
API 576 Inspection of Pressure-Relieving Devices
API 577 Welding Inspection
Note: See the API website www.api/icp.org to determine which editions will be used for your exam.
