Mr. Paresh Haribhakti, Director at TCR Arabia and MD of TCR Advanced conducted a well-received workshop on Fitness for Service at the 7th Middle East Non-Destructive Testing Conference & Exhibition was held at the Gulf International Convention Center, Gulf Hotel in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain on 12th September 2015.
The tittle of this workshop is "Fitness for Service". The FFS assessment is to ensure utilization of full potential of equipment concerning its damage assessment with engineering perspective. The typical outcome of a fitness-for-service approach provides a “go/no-go” decision. When ‘end-of-life’ like conditions, FFS outcome may also provide guideline on management decision for continual use of component through de-rated design parameters. It can help setting up proper inspection schedules, modified maintenance procedures and more of monitoring systems. The exercise in totality tends to assure safe with full economic benefit as well as help to take informed decisions. The workshop on FFS will be helpful to the plant engineers with systematic understanding of international standard along with damage mechanisms involved in failures of equipment affecting it useful life. The cost of this workshop is Bahraini Dinar BD 100 or US$ 270.
