New MI Engineer

[Rubje]

Hi everyone,

I recently switched over to the Mechanical integrity (MI) group where I will be focusing on integrity engineering of pipes, vessels, etc.

Besides reading the codes such as API 510, what other reading or learning material do you recommend?

It's hard to find good youtube videos on these subjects as well

Lastly, is this particular field in demand? i imagine all plants from now on are going to focus more and more on MI.

MI, that's a new one to me. No idea.

It's really a branch of safety engineering.

Look at OSHA 1910.

Look for information about "Process Safety Management", there is plenty of stuff out there.

If your company already has an established mechanical integrity group then they likely also have plans and procedures in place and people who wrote them. Read. Ask questions.

Inspectioneering journal, particularly articles by John Reynolds. His 99 Diseases Of Pressure Equipment would sit very nicely in your work library

There's an entire line of work in inspection/repair of atmospheric storage tanks- API-653, SP001.

I went slightly wrong, although not off target, with my first recommendation, so I shall have to add another John Reynolds publication: The 101 Essential Elements In A Pressure Equipment Integrity Management Programme
