Does your work involve engineering, designing, detailing and/or laying out process, power and utility equipment piping and instrumentation? If so, this course on detail engineering will provide you with the necessary background to design, engineer and complete piping assignments.
The course introduces engineers, designers and construction personnel to the various procedures involved in the development and engineering of Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Equipment Plot Plans, and Piping Arrangements. Additional material includes pipe sizing, pump calculations and piping stress analysis as covered by the B31 Codes.
Traditionally, there has been little formal training in this area and design decisions often have to be made based on practical considerations without formulae or code reinforcement. This course offers participants a unique insight into detail engineering of piping systems beyond the scope of B31.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Interpret piping specifications, instrumentation and process control
- Prepare equipment specifications and drawings
- Specify piping components, valves and fittings, piping hangers and supports
- Select and size pumps and equipment
- Perform a static piping stress analysis
- Produce pipe sizing calculations and complete pressure drop calculations
Who should attend?
This course should be of interest to people employed in any area that piping is present (Refinery, Chemical, Power, Pulp and Paper, Utility etc.) including:
- Piping engineering and design personnel wishing to expand their knowledge of piping and instrumentation
- Engineers, designers, CAD operators and draftspersons in the piping field
- Practicing engineers and designers who may have experience in related disciplines and wish to expand their knowledge of the piping area
- Piping fabricators, contractors and suppliers wishing to understand the relationship of manufacture and fabrication to the design, layout and construction of piping systems
Course Materials (included in purchase of course)
- Detail Engineering and Layout of Piping Systems, by Bob Wilson (Notice: you will be provided with a digital edition of the book for class. After class ends, the publisher will ship a hard copy of the book to you). If your shipping address is outside of the U.S., Canada, or Mexico, we can only provide digital access to the book.
- Downloadable course notes via ASME's learning platform
This ASME Virtual Classroom course is held live with an instructor on our online learning platform. A certificate of completion will be issued to registrants who successfully attend and complete the course
