The objective of this course is to offer participants a comprehensive and current overview of the field of Piping Technology, with a specific focus on process piping. The course aims to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the latest advancements and practices within the industry. By the end of the course, participants will have gained valuable insights into the various aspects of piping technology, enabling them to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in the field, particularly in relation to process piping.

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, the participant will gain an understanding of the physical phenomena which affects the design of the piping system.

The ASME Code formulas and other methods by which theses phenomena can be analyzed to determine resulting stresses, evaluation of those stresses relative to ASME Code limitations, the methods by which piping systems are fabricated, inspected send tested, and the additional requirements which need to be in a fabrication / installation specifications to ensure adequate and proper installation.
