Master the 46th Edition (2018), understand PSL 1 vs PSL 2, Manufacturing, NDT, Sour Service, and the Critical Errata.

What you'll learn
Distinguish Critical Levels: Confidently explain the technical differences between PSL 1 (Standard Quality) and PSL 2 (High-Requirement) line pipe.
Navigate the Standard: Efficiently locate mandatory requirements for ordering, manufacturing, and testing within the 200+ page API 5L document.
Master Acceptance Criteria: Interpret chemical composition tables, mechanical properties, and toughness limits (Charpy V-Notch & DWT).
Apply the Errata: Understand the critical May 2018 Errata update regarding Table 22 and impact test piece sizing.
Understand Manufacturing: Learn the specific rules for Steelmaking (killed steel), Welding processes (HFW, SAW, COW), and Heat Treatment.
Verify Compliance: Master the inspection frequencies, hydrostatic test pressures, and Nondestructive Testing (NDT) methods required by Annex E.
Handle Special Applications: Navigate the supplementary Annexes for high-stakes environments, including Sour Service (Annex H) and Offshore Service (Annex J).

Requirements
Basic understanding of mechanical engineering or metallurgy concepts.
Familiarity with general oil and gas terminology (helpful but not required).
No prior experience with API standards is necessary—we build from the ground up
