Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) to BS7910-DNV OS-F101 Online Live Zoom Course

Is it for me?

 • Integrity engineers
 • Safety engineers
 • Material Corrosion engineers
 • Pipeline engineers;
 • Subsea and offshore engineers;
 • Project engineers and managers;
 • Engineers from other sectors of the Oil and Gas industry who wish to gain understanding of 
 • Integrity assessment of pipelines and welded assets

What will I learn?

Assessing cracks or crack-like flaws in welded and non-welded components such as 
pipelines, pressure vessels, structures and piping components under static and cyclic loading 
condition is of high interest for safe operation of the assets. This course focuses on the 
methodology defined by BS7910 and DNV OS-F101 as the main assessment procedures.
The attendees will receive a certificate from Z-Subsea by completion of the training course.
This training course helps to gain understanding on:

Typical fracture and fatigue failures
Overview of Fitness for Purpose Methods
Fracture Mechanics and Fatigue Theory
Fracture Mechanics testing 
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques
Introduction to BS7910 and DNV OS-F101 and Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) 
approach
Fatigue assessment to BS7910 and DNV RP-C203
Sour-Service ECA
Reinforce learning using case studies and worked examples
