Course Overview

This comprehensive course provides a systematic development of skills and knowledge of Piping and Mechanical QC based on international standards, industry job requirements, and step-by-step exploration of QA/QC activities.

Why is this “Certified Piping and Mechanical Quality Control (QC) Inspector” course important for anyone pursuing a career in Engineering/Quality Inspection? As per current requirements and job descriptions for QC Engineers, engineers are expected to have hybrid skills and be specialised in at least two technical areas.

Engineers in the new trade must be certified and have the equivalent of a QC engineer qualification. In today’s times, speciality certification programs are considered a mandatory requirement in almost all industries and are especially important to gain an edge.

This Zoe training course will empower you with an overall understanding of heat treatments, metallurgical evaluation, damage mechanisms, and the proper selection of alloys to mitigate the problems. It will also enlighten you with information about the common national and international piping construction codes, piping inspection codes, piping design, piping repairs, and alterations.

Course Objectives

Upon completing this Certified Piping and Mechanical Quality Control (QC) Inspector course successfully, participants will be able to:

• Gain a thorough understanding of process piping code related to design & fabrication
• Identify different types of piping assembly, AS raised neck flange, socket weld, threaded and seal welds including required weld sizes
• Select proper class flanged fittings for different service conditions such as corrosive, erosive, high-temperature service, and hydro as well as pneumatic test requirements
• Gather knowledge of control valves including globe, slide, swing check, butterfly, and the maintenance and inspection requirements
• Obtain a thorough understanding of filler metals, welding electrodes, welding variables, and essential and nonessential variables
• Learn about post-weld heat treatment, preheating, and various heat treatments on ferrous materials
• Discover NDT, Ultrasonic, Magnetic, Penetrate, Eddy Current, Thermography, and Radiography
• Become familiar with piping and welding codes
