LEVEL 1 PD TRAINING

LEVEL 1 PD TRAINING (CPD APPROVED)

The online level 1 Training course provides the foundation to PD, covering the basics of how and why PD begins, detection and measurement using On-line and Off-line techniques.

Level 1 PD Training

Introduction to Partial Discharge Testing

3.5 CPD points awarded once successfully completed and exam passed

About 4 hours online session
Designed for anyone new to PD
Persons who wants to understand the fundamentals in order to detect and locate PD on their network

Experienced people with PD knowledge and/or our Level 1 certification can progress to level 2.

Modules (Each module is about an hour)

Introduction to Partial Discharge
Overview of On-line PD testing
Overview Off-line PD Testing
On-line Level 1 PD Exam

Once the course is completed, participants are expected to understand the basics of PD Testing and monitoring techniques, methodology and having insight that can be used to support condition-based maintenance. The knowledge acquired will be tested during the Level 1 examination.

Our PD engineers are always available to do justice to you, should there be need for clarifications.

Construction

Materials meet API specification 6-A & 6-D, for low temperature -46C (-50F)
A.C.E standard MR-01-75 for sour service
The Valve Ball is type 300 stainless steel, surface hardened by Nitrating to resist scratching & corrosion.
Various valve coatings or material options available for customer specifications
Seat carriers are type 300 stainless steel with seat inserts of various materials to meet specified applications.
The 2″ & 3″ Barber Pigging Valves have a seat supported ball.
The 4″ through 8″ Barber Pigging Valves have a trunnion-mounted ball to reduce low turning torque.
On flow line applications that transition from 2″ to 3″ or from 3″ to 4″ the larger valve can be installed to receive and send both sizes of pigs thus simplifying applications and reducing costly expenses.

Features

Over-sized entry bore to accept swollen pigs
Entry cap vent holes to provide positive release of trapped pressure before removal.
Bleed valve connections (1/2″ NPT) to facilitate a choice between venting and draining
Integral Flanges
Easy shop/field maintenance.
Replacement parts and seal kits are readily available
Positive stop plate is easily repositioned 90 degrees on the operating stem to accommodate flow direction.
Operating stem is easily marked to verify the position of the ball
Cap lugs ensure that pigs are fully inserted into the ball cavity eliminating binding when rotating the valve
