The API 936 Refractory Inspector Certification issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API) is the worldwide benchmark for professionals responsible for refractory inspection, refractory quality control, refractory installation supervision, refractory testing and refractory lining systems in refineries, petrochemical plants, LNG facilities, sulfur recovery units (SRU), fired heaters, boilers and waste-to-energy plants.
An API 936 Certified Refractory Inspector helps owners, EPC contractors and refractory installers ensure specification compliance, QA/QC documentation, refractory inspection, installation supervision, dry-out verification, material qualification and long-term reliability of refractory linings while reducing shutdown risks and improving plant safety.
Refractory Inspection • Quality Control • QA/QC • Installation Supervision
Refineries • Petrochemical • LNG • SRU • Fired Heaters • Boilers • Waste-to-Energy • Industrial Furnaces
The American Petroleum Institute (API) offers a certification program for individual in-service inspectors handling the in-service inspection of pressure vessels, pipework and storage tanks. API also manages an expansive catalog catalogue of API 'codes' which standardize practice.
API-936 certification ignites a range of benefits, Certification illuminates the vast knowledge, skills, and expertise of refractory personnel in understanding refractory materials, installation techniques, and inspection procedures.
