This foundational course introduces the engineering principles and code requirements essential for the design, materials and construction, and post-construction of industrial piping systems and transmission pipelines.
Part 1- Design:
Learners will gain a working knowledge of the ASME codes for piping and pipelines, with a focus on code intent, design rules, with practical applications.
Part 2 - Materials and Construction:
Participants will learn to apply ASME B31 codes in material selection, specification, welding, joining, examination, and pressure testing to ensure safe, compliant, and reliable piping and pipeline systems.
Part 3 - Post-Construction:
Participants will learn to apply risk-based inspection methods, interpret fitness-for-service evaluations, and implement post-construction repairs and modifications to ensure safe and reliable piping operations.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Design piping systems that comply with ASME standards by applying engineering calculations for pressure, stress, wall thickness, and flexibility.
- Analyze and validate piping system performance under wind, seismic, thermal, and buried load conditions.
- Evaluate and integrate material selection, welding and mechanical joining methods, and ASME B31 construction requirements to achieve a quality of construction that meet industry specifications.
- Integrate risk-based inspection with fitness-for-service assessments to formulate evidence-based recommendations for piping system integrity.
- Evaluate alternative repair and replacement options and create an approach that implements corrective actions to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for mechanical, piping, and pipeline engineers; project engineers; and other technical professionals working in the power, oil & gas, petrochemical, and chemical process industries who need to understand and apply ASME piping and pipeline codes in design and project execution.
