- Explain the causes and modes of pipeline failure
- Describe the considerations for material specifications, pipe manufacturing, and pipe joining
- Estimate pipeline stresses from external loadings
- Explain how to evaluate pipeline defects
- Identify pipeline repair techniques
- Identify the elements of pipeline integrity
- Explain how code requirements address these issues
- Explain the differences between B31.8 and US DOT gas pipeline regulations
