Length: 5 days CEUs: PDHs:
This intensive, five-day course details the latest Power Piping Code requirements – key elements in creating the more effective piping systems today’s competitive environment demands. It provides insight into how they have evolved and what future changes may be expected. This course explores the background, rules and trends in piping design, analysis, and fabrication – all vital elements of power, industrial and institutional plant construction and maintenance – within the context of meeting the requirements and intent of ASME B31.1 and its appendices. Each attendee will receive a copy of the B31.1 Power Piping codebook.
You Will Learn
- Principal failure modes of piping components and where to look for them
- The difference between pressure component design and structural design
- Layout and simplified analysis techniques
- How to qualify nonstandard fittings and joints and develop stress intensification factors
- Materials selection and limitations, fabrication rules and their bases
- Welding qualification requirements, inspection, examination, and testing requirements
