Offshore Structures Design, Construction, Inspection, Maintenance and Repair Course
Introduction:
The initial section of the course delves into the design prerequisites for piping systems in process plants. The subsequent section focuses on the maintenance prerequisites for these systems. Rather than simply reiterating the content found in the relevant standards, the course delves into practical applications and common procedures. Additionally, the course provides sample problems and written exercises to enhance your understanding and provide hands-on practice.
Course Objectives:
After completion of the course the participants will be able to:
· Understand the total structural integrity of process plant piping systems throughout their useful life
· Discover how the ASME B31.3 code has been correctly and incorrectly applied.
· Ensure the total structural integrity of process plant piping systems throughout their useful life.
· Discuss and apply the design requirements of the ASME B 31.3 Code.
· Achieve higher levels of maintenance excellence in refineries and other process plants.
· Examine and apply the maintenance and inspection requirements of API 570 to process plant piping systems.
· Perform engineering audits of designs and procedures
