CIP Level 1 is a six-day course that offers a full 60 hours of instruction on the technical and practical fundamentals of coating inspection work for structural steel projects. This course provides students with knowledge of coating materials and techniques for surface preparation and application that prepares the student to perform basic coating inspections using non-destructive techniques and inspection instrumentation.
Classroom instruction is comprised of lectures, discussions, group exercises and hands-on practical labs that teach the student how to perform basic inspection tests. A written exam, practical exam, and inspector log book evaluation are given at the end of the course.
COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
•Use of protective coatings to control corrosion
•Corrosion fundamentals such as properties of a coating, coating classification, and modes of protection
•Coating types and curing mechanisms
•Coating specifications including service environments and coating life cycle
•Surface preparation equipment, methods and standards for abrasive blasting, solvent cleaning and power and manual tool cleaning
•Coating application by brush, roller, mitt, and conventional and airless spray
•Role and responsibilities of the inspector including safety, ethics, and conflict prevention and decision making
•Inspection procedures and quality control
•Purpose and content of a pre-job conference
•Test instruments for measurement of environmental or ambient conditions
•Non-destructive test instruments
•Testing for non-visible contaminants
•Quality control issues, recognizing design and fabrication defects and coating failure modes
•Material safety data sheets (MSDS) and product technical data sheets
•Purpose and content of log book and report documentation
CIP2 – Course Code 42616094 (Sunday, October 25th – Friday, October 30th)
