Master using BS 7910: Structural Integrity Training Online

Structural integrity is at the heart of safe and reliable engineering. From pipelines and pressure vessels to offshore platforms and welded structures, engineers have an increasing demand to analyse and prevent flaws and failures and extend asset life. The ability to apply BS 7910 procedures is an essential skill for professionals in these roles.

To enhance your capabilities, TWI is offering the Structural Integrity Assessment and Practical Application of BS 7910 Procedures online live course, running 12–19 November 2025 (weekday mornings only). This course blends theory, case studies, and practical exercises to help you apply BS 7910 with confidence.

How can this course help you?

BS 7910 is the internationally recognised standard for assessing flaws in metallic structures. It provides guidance on evaluating fracture, fatigue, stress, and structural integrity. For engineers working in inspection, welding, pipelines, or maintenance, this knowledge directly supports safe and cost-effective decision-making.

Rather than relying only on lectures, the programme offers a balanced mix of theory and practice. Participants will study the principles of fracture mechanics and engineering critical assessment (ECA) along with reviewing real-life case studies of engineering failures. In addition, trainees will complete software-based exercises using CrackWISE software for fracture and fatigue assessments. Engaging in interactive discussions, quizzes and video support, the course pays special attention to welded structures, exploring how defects occur, how cracks propagate, and how to apply BS 7910 to welded components.

Key topics for the online live course include:

  • Fitness-for-purpose concepts and flaw acceptability
  • Non-destructive testing and its role in integrity assessment
  • Fracture mechanics approaches: K, CTOD, and J methods
  • Failure assessment diagrams (FAD) and stress analysis
  • Fatigue in welded joints and crack growth evaluation
  • Flaw types, material properties, and residual stress
  • BS 7910 procedures from simplified to detailed options

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to carry out assessments using BS 7910, evaluate service life, and make sound engineering decisions on structural integrity.

Flexible and accessible

The course is delivered live online via Zoom, making it accessible from anywhere. Sessions run 09:00–12:30 UK time, allowing you to balance training with work commitments.

The course is designed for structural, welding, materials, inspection, pipeline, and maintenance engineers — as well as anyone responsible for evaluating flaws, managing asset life, or ensuring the safety of welded and pressurised structures.
