ASME Plant Inspector – Level I
ASME Plant inspector Level 1 is a five day, entry-level course for those wishing to consolidate their experience before moving on to ASME Level II or API inspection qualifications. It is also the main route for inspectors and technicians planning a move into plant inspection from other disciplines. Rather than focusing solely on ASME codes, our ASME Level 1 references a broad selection of multi-national inspection codes, resulting in a course that covers a wide range of international inspection practices used for various equipment items. Delegates gain extensive technical knowledge of inspection principles, frequencies and equipment damage mechanisms and, knowledge of the types and techniques of inspection. By the end of the course, delegates are able to carry out practical inspections and write narrative technical descriptions.
