Objectives:
This is an introductory course to provide the basic understanding of the fabrication, inspection and testing portions of ASME Section VIII Division 1 for new construction and how they work with API 510 for post construction inspection, repairs and alterations. An important part of achieving these objectives is covering the Alberta Safety Code Act and Pressure Equipment Safety 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 ASME Sec. II Part A (material standards) and a brief introduction to ASME Section IX - Welding Qualifications.

Who Should Attend:
Inspectors, engineers, maintenance and QA personnel who work for owner-user companies, inspection companies, fabricators, maintenance service and repair companies, inspection companies and EPC's from petrochemical plants, refineries, power plants, gas/oil pipeline companies, and pulp mills. Optional evening tutorial sessions will be available for CSA W178.2 welding inspector exam candidates (level 1 ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and ASME Section IX exam).

About the Instructor
Roy B. Baguley, P. Eng. graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Metallurgical Engineering in 1977 and a Master of Engineering in Metallurgical Engineering (Welding) in 1983. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Alberta, Canada, and has 30 years of domestic and international experience related to metallurgy, corrosion, welding, and nondestructive examination.

Roy worked as an equipment operator at a major Canadian pipe mill, and as a metallurgical and NDE technician with a leading metallurgical engineering consulting company. He obtained CGSB Level II NDE certification in the radiographic, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and liquid penetrant test methods.

After graduating in 1977, Roy entered professional life as a metallurgical engineer, performing failure investigations, materials testing, materials selection, NDE technique development, and welding qualifications. In 1981 Roy joined ARAMCO and worked with the Projects Inspection Division on new construction in Saudi Arabia. In 1984 he accepted a contract with the South African Institute of Welding, returning to Canada one year later to work on a variety of domestic and international oil and gas projects. In 1987, Roy formed Metal Engineers International Inc. (MEI) Through MEI, he continues to offer metallurgical, welding, corrosion, and nondestructive testing expertise, mainly to the oil and gas industry.
