Leveraging ASME’s deep history with the B31 Code, we have built the Practical Piping Design learning path with a focus on the complex decision making and critical thinking required to safely and properly design piping through applied learning in real-world situations. The series of four eLearning courses is relevant to the application of B31.3 code, with a specific focus on the design of piping systems.
 
Learners engaged in this learning path have the opportunity to think critically about real-world scenarios and case studies as they walk through sections of B31.3 and learn to safely and properly design piping systems according to the world-renowned ASME standard.
 
Over-reliance on software without a fundamental understanding of the underlying principles of engineering has become a common industry issue, proving that the “garbage in, garbage out” adage still holds true even with the advent of advanced software. The courses intentionally focus on developing problem-solving and complex decision-making skills related to piping design without the use of software.
 
The learning path covers the core knowledge required to effectively and efficiently design a piping system, including engineering essentials (foundational skills), and B31.3 Code knowledge.
 
This is a preview course of The Practical Piping Design Program, which includes four self-paced, eLearning courses and a final exam.

If you complete the learning path, you will be able to:

• Interpret the B31.3 Code
• Safely design piping
• Identify problems and develop solutions to resolve complex piping design decisions without the use of software
• Use formulas and pressure/temperature tables to calculate complex design criteria

Outline

Who Should Attend
This course was designed for mechanical engineers, managers, inspectors, welders, anyone involved in piping design, and others with an interest in learning more about B31.3 and piping design.
