ASME Code for Offshore Oil & Gas Platform and Refinery

This specialized course is designed for professionals and aspiring engineers looking to build expertise in ASME codes and standards applicable in offshore platforms, refineries, and oil & gas facilities. It includes an in-depth exploration of ASME Section II (Material Specs), Section V (NDT), Section IX (Welding Qualification), and B31.3 (Process Piping Code).

You’ll start by understanding material selection across various steel types—carbon steel, LTCS, stainless steel, alloy steels—and the codes linked to each. Then, we’ll delve into pipe fittings, electrode classifications, welding procedures, and their correlation with QA/QC documentation.

A focused section on SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) will equip you with the basics of welding inspection in offshore piping projects. You’ll also learn about thermit welding applications such as train track joining, RF pad pneumatic testing, and pressure test protocols.

The course then explains NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) codes under ASME Section V, which are mandatory for QA/QC engineers and NDT technicians. You will gain clarity on inspection standards, report formats, and acceptance criteria applied in refinery and platform construction.

With a structured, practical, and job-oriented approach, this course helps you understand ASME codes from a real-world industrial perspective, preparing you for technical interviews, field inspections, and client audits in oil & gas projects globally.
