Objectives This is an
introductory course to provide
the basic understanding of the
fabrication, inspection and
testing portions of ASME B31.3
for construction plus Skystone
additions to ensure the course
is useable. An important
part of achieving these
objectives is covering the
Alberta Safety Code Act and
Regulations that ABSA
administers in Alberta. The ABSA
forms for design registration,
completion of construction, data
reports, and others will be
reviewed. The course also
includes an introduction to ASTM
material standards and a brief
introduction to ASME Section IX
- Welding Qualifications. The
jurisdictional boundaries
between ABSA and ERCB will be
addressed. Field
examples addressing code
practices and essential details
not in the code will be discussed.
Who Should Attend
Inspectors, engineers,
supervisors, operators,
maintenance and QA personnel
involved with pressure piping,
especially for implementation of
new January 1, 2010 AB-518
requirements.
