Introduction To Risk-Based Inspection

This 3-day course teaches risk-based inspection (RBI) concepts based on API RP 580. RBI can provide effective strategies for inspection programs by assessing the likelihood and consequences of failures. The course covers RBI definitions, basic concepts, damage mechanisms, data collection, assessing likelihood and consequences of failure, risk determination, and inspection activities. Participants will learn RBI methodology and gain experience applying the analysis to equipment. The instructor, L. Loushin, has over 35 years of experience developing RBI standards and conducting assessments.
