Overview

Penspen tutors will provide you with guidance on the fundamentals of pipeline defect behaviour, from the basic theories of pipeline defect failure to the leading industry best practice approaches for pipeline defect assessment.

The course covers the assessment of defect types, including corrosion, gouges, dents, cracks and weld defects. An introduction will be given on suitable repair methods for these defect types.

In recognition of the current interest in shipping hydrogen in pipelines, this course will also provide an introduction to the issue of hydrogen as associated with pipeline defects.
