Mechanical Engineer for non Mechanical Engineer Course
Introduction:
The main components of a process plant are pipes and other mechanical devices. A fundamental understanding of plant pipes and equipment is necessary when growing up and working in a multidisciplinary setting. Many concepts of mechanical design can be understood by engineers and technicians, including recent graduates of Mechanical Engineering, who work in design offices or in process plants. These individuals may be qualified in their own field but may not have received sufficient training in Mechanical Engineering. Engineers, technicians, and staff members from all disciplines must possess a basic understanding of the concepts guiding the Construction Code's requirements for plant design in order to be effective. The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of plant plumbing in relation to ASME B31.3 - Process Code.
Course Objectives:
- Provide a basic understanding and knowledge of process piping and equipment typically required by any process plant
- Provide an awareness of the codes and regulations that governs the design and operation of a plant
- To deal with a process facility by a non-mechanical Engineer in charge.
Who Should Attend?
Industrial and commercial plant and facilities engineers and operators, project engineers, design engineers, Quality and Safety personnel who are involved in the design, construction and operation of a process plant. Professionals who need to add to their current experience and knowledge of mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers who require practical knowledge of certain aspects of mechanical engineering or who need to refresh their knowledge. New graduates will benefit from the practical industrial experience of the instructor.
After Attending This Course You Will Be Able To:
- Understand codes and standards governing the construction of a Process Plant
