Inspection, Fitness For Service, and Flaw Evaluation of 

Pressure Equipments - For More Details Refer Attached Course Brochure 

Fitness - For - Service (FFS) assessments are quantitative engineering evaluations that are performed to 

demonstrate the structural integrity of an in-service component that may contain a flaw or damage. This 

training course is designed to give a detailed discussion of the subject of FFS concepts with emphasis on 

the basic degradation mechanism and its consequences aspect. It present through understanding of how 

the disciplines of material science, stress analysis, NDT and inspection practices can be applied for 

assessing the present structural integrity of the component, and deciding its fitness for continued service 

as well as the project remaining life. This course covers both Level I and Level II assessments for Fitness 

for Service. In order to suit the course to participants with or without a FFS background, the course will 

be delivered such a way that most of technical terms and both code statements and examples will clarify 

concepts 

Course Objectives 

� To familiarize participants with the main concepts and technical terms of degradation mechanisms 

� To provide participants with the basic technical and scientific knowledge for carrying out in depth 

inspection and engineering calculations 

� To introduce participants to different ways of evaluations and decision making
