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)
