Advanced Strategies in Materials Selection Engineering

Course Introduction

This course focuses on one question: how do teams in static and rotating equipment and piping systems apply Materials Selection Engineering consistently and safely under real constraints? Five days of discussion, exercises and case work provide practical answers you can adapt to your own organisation.

Training Objectives

• 01Explain the core principles, terminology and standards behind Materials Selection Engineering in clear, practical language
• 02Select and adapt suitable approaches to Materials Selection Engineering for the constraints of static and rotating equipment and piping systems
• 03Diagnose weak spots in current practice and prioritise corrective action
• 04Use practical tools, checklists and templates that support day-to-day Materials Selection Engineering
• 05Leave with a prioritised list of improvements you can start within 30 days

What You Will Take Away

• A structured inspection and reporting template
• Case-study notes drawn from regional plant experience
• A field-ready checklist you can use on your next job

Who Should Attend

• Mechanical Engineers
• Piping & Static Equipment Engineers
• Maintenance Engineers
• Inspection Engineers

Prerequisites: Recommended: at least two years of relevant work experience.

Training Methodology

Building on participants' existing experience, the programme relies on case analysis, comparison of approaches and structured problem-solving rather than lecture. Case material and examples are drawn from static and rotating equipment and piping systems.

Day-by-Day Programme (5 Days)

• Day 1
  Getting oriented: the landscape of Materials Selection Engineering

  Scope, terminology and the standards and regulations that shape Materials Selection Engineering in static and rotating equipment and piping systems.

• Day 2
  Core concepts and methods

  The principles, codes and best-practice approaches that leading organisations rely on for Materials Selection Engineering.

• Day 3
  Applying it on the job

  Hands-on exercises using tools and templates for Materials Selection Engineering, built around realistic situations in static and rotating equipment and piping systems.

• Day 4
  Cases, risks and lessons learned

  Case studies, typical pitfalls and the risk and compliance issues that arise with Materials Selection Engineering.

• Day 5
  Bringing it together

  Consolidation workshop, personal action planning and a closing knowledge check on Materials Selection Engineering.
