ASME PCC-2 Repair of Pressure Equipment & Piping

Course Overview

ASME PCC-2: Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping is a standard generated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) that outlines safe and elective aspects for repairing pressure equipment and piping systems. Its first edition was approved in 2004; subsequent editions were published in 2008, 2011, 2015, and 2018. Starting with the 2018 edition, new editions are expected to be published in a 4-year cycle. ANSI approved ASME PCC-2–2022 as an American National Standard on April 4, 2022.

ASME PCC-2 provides methods for repairing static equipment, process piping, pipelines, and associated equipment within the scope of ASME Pressure Technology Codes and Standards after they have been placed in service. These repair methods may be temporary or permanent depending on the inspection codes (API 570, API 510, or API 653)   and will include relevant design, fabrication, examination NDE, and pressure testing. Many international companies have adopted the ASME PCC-2 procedures in their specifications.

This ASME PCC-2: Repair of Pressure Equipment & Piping training course will enable the participants to understand the standard basic concepts, philosophy, and repair procedures. Moreover, the participants will be able to select the proper repair technique by knowing the limitations and advantages & disadvantages of each procedure mentioned in the standard. Case studies and relevant examinations will also be held during the programme.
