Information
Take advantage of over 800 man years of expert
experience in specifying, design, testing, installation and repair
of rotating equipment by attending this new course covering the
API Mechanical Equipment Standards. Learn the API mechanical equipment
standard requirements, the reasons behind the requirements and how
to knowledgably apply these specifications.
The course is based on an API in-house document
used by the Mechanical Equipment Task Forces to generate the 28
API machinery standards.
The course will present valuable information
for designers and users of pumps, steam and gas turbines, centrifugal,
reciprocating, and screw type compressors, gears, auxiliary equipment
and auxiliary systems.
The following API Standards are based on these
Standard Paragraphs:
- 610 Centrifugal Pumps For Petroleum, Petrochemical And Natural
Gas Industries
- 611 General Purpose Steam Turbines
- 612 Special Purpose Steam Turbines
- 613 Special Purpose Gears
- 614 Lubricating and Control Oil Systems
- 616 Gas Turbines
- 617 Special Purpose Compressors
- 618 Reciprocating Compressors
- 619 Helical Screw Compressors
- 672 Plant & Instrument Air
- 673 Fans
- 674 Positive Displacement Pumps - Reciprocating
- 675 Controlled Volume Pumps
- 676 Positive Displacement Pumps – Rotary
- 677 General Purpose Gears
- 681 Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps
- 684 Tutorial on Rotor Dynamics
- 686 Installation of Equipment
- 687 Repair of Rotating Equipment

Who Should Attend
Engineers new to the field, as well as experienced individuals
involved with the specification, quoting, purchasing, design, testing,
installation and repair of the equipment covered by these specifications.
Please note there is an API 5 day training course covering API
687 which covers the requirements of equipment repair in much greater
detail.
