Overview of the API 571 Exam Prep Course Material

The specialized API 571 Corrosion and Materials Certification is for engineers, inspectors, and industry professional that want a certification that demonstrates a knowledge of damage mechanisms seen in the refining, petrochemical, pulp, and paper industries. This knowledge of damage mechanisms and proper identification is step one in maintaining safe and reliable equipment. Quality assurance inspectors need to be well versed in the API 571 in order to apply API 510, API 570, API 653, API 580, API 581, and API 579 codes. An understanding of damage mechanisms is necessary when evaluating the remaining life of equipment.

The damage mechanisms covered in the API 571 course material are common to several industries including pulp and paper, refining and petrochemical, and fossil utility. The Atlas API 571 online training course will provide you with the necessary knowledge to pass the exam the first time.

Below are some of the damage mechanisms covered:
Sulfide stress corrosion cracking
Reheat cracking
Polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
Soil corrosion
Sulfuric acid corrosion
Wet H2S cracking
Graphitic corrosion
Mechanical fatigue
Phosphoric acid corrosion
Caustic corrosion
Dissimilar metal weld (DMW) cracking
CO2 corrosion
Brittle fracture
Chloride stress corrosion cracking

Atlas API Training presently provides online preparation courses for API 510, API 570, API 571, API 580, API 1169, PT, MT and API 653 certification exams.
