Global Technical Training - South Africa

Global Technical Training - South Africa
Global Technical Training Team has been formed by those involved in the engineering industry for those involved in the engineering industry. The mission of Global Technical Training is to develop and organize short technical courses. We specialize in open short courses, presented by selected experts from the industry. Usually the length of a course is between 2 and 6 days. The key elements of a GTT-course are experienced facilitators, small groups and the interactive nature of our courses. We present a unique way of education in which you will find an interaction between professional business & experiences and engineering education. Course facilitators are experts from the industry.

Global Technical Training - South Africa is based in Fourways, Gauteng,
Overview:
All modules are designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Designed for non metallurgists, the course takes the mystery out of metallurgy and engineering.
Many case histories of failures and their elimination are highlighted throughout the course

A systematic Approach to Failure Analysis instructor led traininggroup study and discussion : Have you ever been handed a failure investigation and were not quite sure all the steps required to complete the investigation? Did you had to review a failure investigation and wondered if all the aspects had been properly covered? Or perhaps you read a failure investigation and wondered what to do next? Learn the steps to organize a failure investigation and ensure success.
Aging Plant Degradation instructor led training : As operating pressure plants age, premature leaks or rupture are increasingly likely. Mechanisms such as corrosion, creep, fatigue, the possibility of cracks emanating from damaged areas could lead to dramatic consequences. It is fundamental to understand degradation mechanisms, their likelihood of occurring in the facility and the impact that they may have on the facility. This intensive course describes degradation mechanisms found in refineries, the pulp and paper and power plant industry, affected materials, critical factors used to identify the mechanism of the damage, prevention/ mitigation measures, inspection and monitoring recommendations used for risk based inspection more...
Corrosion damage assessment for Risk base Inspection Part 2 instructor led training : This corrosion module aims to provide the participants with an understanding of why and how corrosion occurs, the metallurgical and environmental factors influencing corrosion, and practical methods of corrosion control. Participants will be able to grasp the basic concepts related to corrosion, metallurgy, and to apply the knowledge in their workplace
Corrosion damage assessment for risk based inspection Part 1 instructor led traininggroup study and discussion : This corrosion module aims to provide the participants with an understanding of why and how corrosion occurs, the metallurgical and environmental factors influencing corrosion, and practical methods of corrosion control. Participants will be able to grasp the basic concepts related to corrosion, metallurgy, and to apply the knowledge in their workplace.
Diseases of pressure vessels instructor led training : This module covers the degradation mechanism associated with in-service metallurgical aging. A lot of unexpected failures can be prevented if more people know about and understand the a afflictiona of pressure equipment, why they happen and how to prevent them from resulting in failures
Fatigue Failures Interpretation instructor led traininggroup study and discussion : This interactive module reviews a selection of fatigue fracture faces and provides information applicable to the interpretation of various fracture faces
Non-Destructive Evaluation instructor led traininggroup study and discussion : The field of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) is a very broad, interdisciplinary field that plays a critical role in assuring that structural components and systems perform their function in a reliable and cost effective fashion. NDT technicians and engineers define and implement tests that locate and characterize material conditions and flaws that might otherwise cause planes to crash, reactors to fail, trains to derail, pipelines to burst, and a variety of less visible, but equally troubling events.
Plant degradation mechanism for aging plants an essential skill for Risk Base Inspection instructor led traininggroup study and discussion : As operating pressure plants age, premature leaks or rupture are increasingly likely. Mechanisms such as corrosion, creep, fatigue, the possibility of cracks emanating from damaged areas could lead to dramatic consequences. It is fundamental to understand degradation mechanisms, their likelihood of occurring in the facility and the impact that they may have on the facility.

Risk Based Inspection instructor led traininggroup study and discussion : Its utility is based on the rough premise that 10% of the equipment in a process contributes 90% of the risk. Consequently, if this 10% of the equipment can be identified, testing and inspection can be focused on it rather than low-risk items. This approach is clearly preferable to the usual method of treating all equipment equally, regardless of its risk contribution.
Source of Failures : This module reviews a selection of industrial failures and explains how errors or defects can lead to failures. a Errors in assembly. a Service abnormalities a Ductile a Brittle mode. a Inadequate or improper maintenance. a Unintended or inadvertent factors. a Material Related. a Fabrication defects. a Improper processing. a Deficiencies in design
Under standing Boiler Tube Failures part 1 instructor led traininggroup study and discussion : Boiler tube failures are the leading cause of steam plant non-reliability. A tube failure may cause a forced outage, usually at the most inopportune time. The outage results in lost production and lost revenue. A reduction in the frequency of tube failures can be achieved by understanding the root cause of the failure and taking steps to eliminate the problem. How can you focus these efforts? The first step in preventing tube failures is understanding why a tube failure occurred. With this information, you can perform preemptive repair, replacement, or alter the tube environment. Tube failures mechanisms are presented with actual case histories from industry.
Understanding Boiler Tube Failures Part 2 instructor led training : Have you ever repaired a tube leak and put the boiler back in service, only to be forced off-line by another leak? Identifying and correcting the root cause is essential. To ensure low availability loss and to eliminate repeat failures, a large number of utilities often misdiagnose BTF mechanisms.
