Design and Fabrication of Piping Systems and Code Requirements Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
This course provides a background and ANSI / ASME / API code guidance on design, selection of materials, fabrication, testing, and practical methods and trends in piping design and construction.
- Familiarize participants with the organization and intent of the B 31.3 code
- Know how to read the code, and interpret its stated and implied requirements
- What issues to take into consideration when designing process piping
- Pressure design of piping and piping components
- How to analyze piping flexibility and gauge the limitations of piping and piping components
- Provide participants step-by-step approach to piping design, including the design optimization techniques.
- Introduce participants with various material selection, fabrication, erection and testing of piping systems.
- Be able to understand the mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions and optional stipulations given in the code and other service restrictions on piping systems.
- How to conduct and certify the pressure testing.
- Understand the principles of piping integrity assessments as per API 570 and to make run-repair-replace decisions.
- Know how to calculate Remaining life and MAWP of piping system
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for engineers entering the piping design and fabrication; piping engineers requiring background on Code compliance, plant owners, piping fabricators, and suppliers wishing to extend their knowledge to induce a supplementary understanding of the piping design and fabrication and installation.
The course also of interest to practicing piping design and fabrication personnel interested in expanding their knowledge by interaction with other people, viewpoints, and experience in the field; and supervisory personnel requiring a Review on current design and fabrication techniques and procedures.
