In sectors like oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, manufacturing and construction, ensuring the quality of piping systems is essential for safety, reliability and regulatory compliance. Our 30‑Hour Professional Diploma in Quality Control (QC) Piping provides professionals with the knowledge, inspection skills, documentation capability and quality‑control mindset required for roles focused on piping system quality assurance and control.
Course Overview
This intensive 30‑hour programme combines theoretical foundations and practical insights into piping QC inspection and control. Participants will explore piping materials and components; fabrication, welding and installation practices; inspection methods (including visual inspection and non‑destructive testing); interpretation of drawings; acceptance criteria; preparation and review of inspection & test plans (ITPs); and quality documentation. The aim is to prepare professionals to support and implement QC processes for piping systems across industrial environments.
Study Units
The programme includes the following key modules:
Introduction to QC in Piping Systems
· Understanding quality control fundamentals in piping projects.
· Exploring roles and responsibilities of QC personnel.Piping Materials, Components & Fabrication Practices
· Identifying piping materials, grades and their implications.
· Understanding components like valves, fittings, flanges and how fabrication influences quality.Welding Fundamentals & QC Inspection Basics
· Reviewing welding processes relevant to piping systems.
· Understanding how welding quality affects piping systems and how QC inspection applies.International Codes & Standards
· Familiarising with major codes/standards (e.g., ASME, API, ISO) relevant to piping and QC tasks.
· Understanding how standards guide inspection, acceptance and non‑conformity decisions.Non‑Destructive Testing (NDT) Methods & Applications
· Introduction to NDT techniques for piping systems (e.g., UT, RT, MT, PT, VT).
· Understanding how inspection results support QC judgments.Interpretation of Piping Drawings & Isometrics
· Learning to read piping isometrics, general‑arrangement drawings, specifications and symbols.
· Using drawing interpretation to support inspection planning, verification and documentation.Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) and Site Quality Procedures
· Understanding the structure of ITPs, hold/witness points, checklists and QC workflows.
· Applying these in site environments for piping QC control.Quality Documentation & Traceability
· Preparing and reviewing key documentation (WPS, PQR, material test certificates, inspection logs).
· Ensuring traceability, audit‑readiness and compliance of QC records.
