Piping and Valves: Design, Construction, Operation and integrity Course
Introduction:
The requirements of ASME B31.3, Process Piping Code, are thoroughly covered in the course. It has undergone a thorough revision, restructure, and update. It now includes explanations of the significant new requirements found in the 2008 ASME B31.3 edition, along with the rationale for the modifications. The ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping's fundamental requirements will be reviewed in the course, with a focus on B31.3, Process Piping. Code organization and intent, pressure design, design for sustained loads including support design, flexibility analysis, equipment loads, expansion joints, supports and restraints, materials, fabrication, examination, testing, and, for pipes already in place: mechanical integrity are among the general topics covered in the course.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this training course, you will learn to:
· Have a very good background on the scope & definition of ASME B31.3, process piping design, construction & mechanical integrity
· Understand metallic pipe and fitting selection including its system failure, bases for selection and method requirements
· Identify the strengths of materials including its requirements and be able to identify the bases for design stresses
· Determine the components of pressure design and be able to know the concepts of weld joint strength factor and design pressure & temperature
· Know the process of valve selection and be able to list the requirements needed for the selection process
· Become familiar with the design of flanged joints and be able to describe its features & functions
· Introduce flexibility & flexibility analysis and able to explain the general considerations for the layout and support of pipes ‚ Learn the various types and designs of expansion joints and be able to describe their components and use
· Understand the fabrication and installation methods of pipings and be able to list the requirements and guidelines needed in the inspection, examination and testing of pipes
· Heighten awareness with the concept of instrument piping and pressure relieving systems and learn how these systems can be designed
· Know the design, fabrication, installation, inspection, examination and testing methods for nonmetallic piping systems, category M Fluid service & high-pressure piping
· Review the concept of API 570 including its inspection, repair, alteration and rerating of in-service piping
Who Should Attend?
This course provides an overview of all significant aspects and considerations of piping for those who are involved in the design, analysis, fabrication, installation, maintenance or ownership of piping systems. Engineers, Senior Draftsmen, maintenance, quality assurance, and manufacturing personnel who work in the chemical, petroleum, utility, plastic processing, pulp and paper, and manufacturing, fields will find it a time-saving means to broaden and update their knowledge of piping. Those who must comply with Code requirements will benefit from the practical approach presented in this course in obtaining satisfactory and economical piping systems.
