Save up to $685 by enrolling in PD581, ASME B31.3 Process Piping course combo, consisting of this course (PD014) and PD457, “ASME B31.3 Process Piping Materials, Fabrication Examination and Testing.”
The objective of this intensive course is to examine how various stakeholders, (including designers, manufacturers, owners, suppliers, fabricators, and erectors) employ the ASME B31.3 Code requirements to prevent piping system failures.
Using real-world examples, as well as the personal experiences of the instructor, the course demonstrates how the ASME B31.3 Code has been both correctly and incorrectly applied. Lessons are enhanced by actual in-class problem solving, directly applying the rules and equations of the ASME B31.3 Code for specific design and operating conditions to illustrate correct applications.
You Will Learn To
- Identify what issues to take into consideration when designing process piping
- Explain the pressure design of piping and piping components
- Analyze piping flexibility and gauge the limitations of piping and piping components
- Identify pipe supports, leak testing, piping failures and their causes
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for piping engineers and designers who need an understanding of the requirements for compliance and the trends of Code changes for piping design and analysis, fabrication, examination, and testing. Participants should have at least two years of piping experience.
