Online Live Piping Course

About This Course

The aim of this piping course is to provide the participants with an overview of the area of Piping Technology with an emphasis on power and process piping. The workshop covers engineering design, detailing, drafting, requirements of ASME B31.1 & 3. It covers Code requirements from design through start-up of new piping systems, as well as standards for inspection and repair of piping systems that have been in service, Piping design Code.This workshop provides a foundation of knowledge necessary for those responsible for assuring the mechanical integrity of existing piping systems, as well as those responsible for designing and constructing new piping systems.

The workshop will review the basic requirements of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping with emphasis on Power & Process Piping. General topics in the workshop include Code organization and intent, pressure design, design for sustained loads including support design, flexibility analysis, equipment loads, flanges, expansion joints, supports and restraints, materials, fabrication, examination, testing, and for existing piping systems, mechanical integrity. Applications of these concepts, including simple hand analysis methods and computer- based analysis methods, will be demonstrated. Included will be comparisons between ASME B31.3 and ASME B31.1, Power Piping. Each session will be conducted in a lecture/discussion/problem solving format designed to provide intensive instruction and guidance on understanding Code requirements. The instructors will be available following each day’s session to provide participants with further opportunity for discussion and consideration of specific problems.
