The core responsibilities expected from this role.
1. Curriculum Delivery & Code Calculations
Facilitate 5-day intensive bootcamps or multi-week virtual evening cohorts structured around the API ICP exam window.
Train candidates in rapid navigation strategies for both Closed-Book (core concepts/definitions) and Open-Book (detailed lookup & calculations) sections.
Instruct candidates on pressure vessel design calculations, including:
Minimum required thickness ($t_{min}$) and MAWP for cylindrical shells, spherical shells, and standard heads (ellipsoidal, torispherical, hemispherical) under internal pressure.
Joint Efficiencies ($E$) per ASME Sec VIII Div 1 (UW-11/UW-12).
Static head pressure adjustments.
Corrosion rates (short-term/long-term), remaining life, and inspection interval determination.
Impact testing exemption curves (ASME Sec VIII UCS-66) and PWHT rules.
2. Code Review & Welding/NDE Standards
Guide students through reviewing Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Records (PQR), and Welder Performance Qualifications (WPQ) per ASME IX.
Explain non-destructive examination acceptance criteria per ASME Section V (RT, UT, PT, MT).
Detail pressure test requirements (hydrostatic and pneumatic calculations/precautions).
Cover pressure relief device (PRD) inspection routines per API RP 576 and damage mechanisms per API RP 571.
