INTRODUCTION
This course provides the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of process piping design. It covers piping fundamentals, pipe sizing, material selection for corrosion resistance, valve sizing, including relief valves, component selection and the design, fabrication, examination and testing requirements of ASME – B31.3 “Process Piping”.
OBJECTIVES
You will leave the course with a clear understanding of how piping systems fail and what the Code requires the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector and owner to do to prevent such failures. A cursory review of “API 570 Piping Inspection Code” will introduce you to the requirements for inspection, repair, alteration and re-rating of existing piping systems.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The course provides a foundation of knowledge for those designers, engineers and managers responsible for the design and construction of new piping systems, as well as those responsible for assuring the mechanical integrity of existing systems.
