AMPP CIP Level 2

Classroom instruction is comprised of lectures, discussions, group exercises, and hands-on labs. Students will also participate in case studies based on real life situations that focus on problem-solving and team dynamics related to the inspection process.

• Explain advanced corrosion theory as it applies to the role of cathodic protection when used with coatings.
• Identify types of environmental controls and inspection concerns associated with the use of digital electronic hygrometers, data loggers, and wind speed monitors.
• Identify standards, methods of use, and inspection concerns for centrifugal blast cleaning and water-jetting equipment.
• Recognize the importance of surface preparation, application, and inspection of liquid-applied and thick barrier linings.
• Utilize destructive coating inspection equipment, such as adhesion and hardness testers, pH meters and ultrasonic thickness and eddy-current dry film thickness gauges.
• Recognize the methods of use, standards, and inspection concerns for specialized application equipment including plural-component, electrostatic and centrifugal, and hot spray systems.
• Recall concrete coating techniques, concerns and test instruments used for inspection.
• Identify specialized coating techniques and application of nonliquid coatings including powdered coatings, spray metalizing, hot-dip galvanizing and automated coatings application.
• Distinguish between different coating survey techniques, procedures, and common coating failure modes.
• Describe maintenance coating operations, as well as health and safety concerns in relation to the inspector’s work conditions.
