Webinar Overview
Corrosion management is a foundational element of a high-functioning mechanical integrity program. Understanding what damage is likely to occur, where it will manifest, and its severity will help guide the inspector in making decisions on appropriate monitoring locations and inspection techniques. Risk-based inspection (RBI) programs also depend on proper damage mechanism identification. Aligning the two programs leads to consistent approaches to inspection planning and execution as well as efficient use of plant resources and personnel time.
Join us as Inspectioneering teams up with Becht for our webinar, "Damage Mechanisms Lay the Groundwork for Mechanical Integrity." This presentation will provide details on developing corrosion control documents (CCDs) and setting integrity operating windows (IOWs) limits at a facility. The webinar will feature additional discussions on setting an overarching program for corrosion management, RBI implementation, and tie-in with other process safety management (PSM) programs.
