Relief System Design Training Course
Three-day relief system design course (in-person or online) covering API/ASME standards, overpressure protection, device selection and sizing, scenario identification, flare/atmospheric disposal, and OSHA PSM-compliant documentation, with hands-on workshops and CEU/PDH credits.
What you'll learn
- Understand and apply API and ASME standards for relief systems (API 520/521/526/2000, ASME I/VIII/XIII/B31.3/B31.1)
- Design overpressure protection strategies and select and size relief devices
- Identify and analyze overpressure scenarios per API 521 and API 2000
- Evaluate flare and atmospheric disposal systems and installation per RAGAGEP
- Document relief systems to meet OSHA PSM and corporate compliance requirements
- Practice with real-world examples, calculations, and in-course workshops
Skills you'll gain
- Apply API and ASME standards (API 520/521/526/2000, ASME I/VIII/XIII/B31.3/B31.1) to relief system design
- Develop overpressure protection design philosophy and strategies
- Select appropriate relief device types and perform sizing calculations
- Identify and analyze overpressure scenarios in accordance with API 521 and API 2000
- Design and review flare and atmospheric disposal systems and installation per RAGAGEP
- Prepare and maintain relief documentation that meets OSHA PSM and corporate requirements
- Perform relief system calculations for vessels, exchangers, piping, rotating equipment, boilers, and tanks
- Gain practical experience through workshops using real standards, equations, and lab demonstrations (in-person)
