Course Overview

Course Contents

API RP 571-2011 is the latest edition that

describes damage mechanisms affecting
equipment in the refining and petrochemical
industries. A key first step in managing
equipment safety and reliability is the
identification and understanding of the various
damage mechanisms. Proper identification of
damage mechanisms is also required when
implementing the API Inspection Codes (API
510, API 570, API 653) and in carrying out risk
based inspection (RBI) per API 580 and API
581. When performing a fitness-for-service
(FFS) assessment using API 579, the damage
mechanisms need to be understood and need to
be considered when evaluating the remaining
life.

1. Introduction to Corrosion

This 5-day corrosion short course aims to

provide the participants with a thorough
understanding of the various damage
mechanisms that can affect process equipment,
the type and extent of damage that can be
expected, and how this knowledge can be applied
to the selection of effective inspection methods to
detect size and characterize damage. The damage
mechanisms in this recommended practice cover
situations encountered in the refining and
petrochemical industry in pressure vessels,
piping, and tankage.
This corrosion short course is available for inhouse training, online and distance learning
worldwide. It can also be customized to meet
the specific needs of your organization.

Dr Qiu Jianhai BEng PhD CEng MIM FICorr

Dr Qiu obtained his BEng and PhD degrees both in the
field of corrosion. He has 29 years of industry,
university teaching, research and consulting experience
in areas of corrosion and its prevention. He has been
working closely with both local and overseas
companies and has been an active consultant to
governmental agencies, multinational companies and
private organizations on corrosion and materials related
issues such as corrosion design review, materials
selection and life prediction, corrosion inspection and
condition assessment, corrosion training, corrosion
testing and monitoring, trouble-shooting and corrosion
failure analysis. He has recently completed the design
of a CP system for MCE tunnels. Dr. Qiu is also
experienced in providing expert witness and assistance
in litigation and arbitration matters related to corrosion
and materials. He has authored about 120 technical
papers and reports. Dr. Qiu was an invited contributing
author to the latest edition of ASM Handbook Vol.13C
Corrosion: Environments and Industries. His
biographical profile was included in the 7th edition of
Marquis Who's Who in Science and Engineering.
Dr. Qiu is a NACE certified Corrosion Specialist and a
Fellow of the Institute of Corrosion (UK). He is a
Chartered Engineer registered with the Engineering
Council (UK), a professional member of the Institute of
Materials, Minerals and Mining (UK). Dr. Qiu is a
