Course Schedule: This course is offered over the following six days: September 20 - 22 and September 27-29, 2021, commencing at 9:30 AM and ending at 2:30 PM Eastern each day, with breaks scheduled throughout.
Are you qualified as an inspector or a supervisor? As an Engineer, Designer or Contractor do you wish to have a better understanding of the relationship of fabrication and manufacture to design and construct pipes?
This course introduces the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code. It covers the requirements of B31.3 for design, analysis, materials, fabrication, testing, and inspection of process piping systems. Since these requirements are similar to that of ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code, it identifies significant and subtle differences between the two Codes. The course explores the rules for various components, which includes fittings, connections, bends, valves, and specialty components. Other topics include dimensions and ratings of components, fluid service requirement for joints, piping flexibility and support, welding, heat treatment, bending and forming, brazing, and soldering, assembly, erection, examination, and inspection.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Identify the responsibilities of personnel involved in the design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of process piping
- Describe the scope and technical requirements of the ASME B31.3 Code as well as differences in ASME B31.1.
- Apply and implement the quality requirements that are defined in the ASME B31.3 and B31.1 Code.
- Explain the principal failure modes of piping components and where to look for them
- Describe the layout and simplified and formal analysis techniques
Who should attend?
- This course is designed for engineers, managers and quality personnel who are involved in the design, manufacturing, fabrication, and examination of process piping that is being built to the requirements of U.S. Codes & Standards.
- Engineers entering the piping design and analysis field
- Practicing piping engineers requiring background on Code compliance and trends in piping design, analysis, and fabrication
- QA/QC personnel
- Piping Designers involved in the design, layout, of pressure piping systems.
Special Requirements
Each student must have a calculator.

Jim E. Meyer, P.E., has over 45 years of experience in refining petrochemical, chemical, power generation, and industrial facilities. He is a principal engineer at CDM Smith, a full-service engineering and architectural firm, located in Wadsworth Ohio. Jim is experienced in overall project coordination/management, pressure equipment, piping design, analysis, specifications, support design, mechanical system requirements, and documentation requirements. His technical competence includes ASME piping and pressure vessel codes, stress analysis, field troubleshooting piping system support, vibration, and expansion problems.
Jim is a member of ASME and has been involved in the ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3 Section committees for over 40 years. He currently serves on ASME B31.3 Process Piping Section Committee, ASME B31 Mechanical Design Technical Committee, the ASME Board on Pressure Technology Codes and Standards, and TES – 1 Safety Standard for Thermal Energy Storage Systems, Molten Salt. Jim has also served as Chair of the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Section Committee and Chair of ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code Section Committee, Chair of the ASME B31 Standards Committee, and Chair of the B31 Mechanical Design Technical Committee.
Most recently, Jim co-authored chapters in the “ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Companion Guide,” 5th Edition, covering the ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code and the B31.3 Process Piping Code. Past projects and work experience have involved major oil refineries, petrochemical plants, fossil, nuclear, solar, and alternative energy generation, as well as cryogenic and vacuum test facilities.
