API 580/581 - Risk-Based Inspection for Piping Systems Training

The API 580/581 Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) for Piping Systems Training by Multisoft Virtual Academy is designed to help professionals optimize inspection planning while ensuring safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance of piping assets. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of API 580 principles and API 581 quantitative risk assessment methodology used across oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, and process industries. Participants will learn how to identify damage mechanisms, assess probability and consequence of failure, and apply risk ranking to prioritize inspections effectively. The training covers RBI concepts for piping systems, corrosion loops, degradation models, inspection intervals, and mitigation strategies. Special focus is given to practical interpretation of API standards, data requirements, and documentation best practices. Through real-world examples and case studies, learners gain hands-on exposure to risk calculations, inspection effectiveness, and decision-making processes that improve asset integrity and reduce unplanned downtime. The course is ideal for inspection engineers, maintenance professionals, integrity managers, and reliability engineers seeking to enhance their technical expertise and align with industry standards.

By the end of the program, participants will be equipped to implement RBI programs confidently, support compliance initiatives, and contribute to safer, more cost-effective inspection strategies within their organizations.
