This course provides an examination of fluid properties and their impact on piping and pipeline systems design. Students will be presented with equations developed through decades of research to determine pressure drop, including considerations for minor losses, valves, meters, filters, and pumps. The course also covers the selection, analysis, and control of pumps and pump drivers, as well as an introduction to hydraulic transients such as pressure surge (waterhammer) phenomena. Regulatory requirements relevant to piping and pipeline systems will be examined to ensure compliance in both design and operation. In addition, students will observe computer simulations of design and transient hydraulic behavior.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Explain fluid properties, energy concepts, and key hydraulic system nomenclature.
- Identify pressure losses in piping systems, including the effects of fittings, valves, pumps, and minor losses.
- Apply pump selection methods by analyzing pump curves, determining performance and horsepower needs, and classifying appropriate pump control systems.
- Simulate and analyze steady state results of a pipe system using hydraulic software.
- Interpret and mitigate surge (transient) pressures using a created model in transient mode by analyzing system response to confirm design pressure compliance and safety.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for individuals with engineering experience (3-5 years in the field), will use their existing knowledge and skills to increase their ability to validate design piping and pipeline design capabilities.

Module 0: Course Introduction
- Introduction to Fluid Mechanics and Piping Hydraulics including Fluid characteristics and properties that affect flow.
Module 1: Fluid Characteristics and Equations
- This section will introduce the student to fluid properties that affect frictional pressure drop in piping systems.
Module 2: Pressure Loss
- This section introduces equations developed through many years of research. The equations are used for determining pipeline pressure drop. Further examples of pressure losses in the pipeline include the system valves, meters, filtering equipment, etc. provide the energy to achieve flow.
Module 3: Surge in Pipelines
- This section focuses on the understanding of "surge" in pipelines. The underlying concept of surge is explored. Possible scenarios that may cause surges to develop are discussed, including rapid valve closures; pump shutdowns; inadvertent control valve operations; or safety control operations
