Piping Systems: Mechanical Design and Specification Course
Introduction:
The main topics related to the design of pipe systems for oil and gas facilities are covered in this five-day foundation level course for engineers and piping system designers. Codes and standards, pipe materials and fabrication, piping components, and pipeline layout and design are the four main topics covered in the course. An essential component of the course covers material selection, pipe sizing calculations, pipe installation, and applicable piping codes (ISO, B31.3, B31.4, B31.8, etc.) for oil and gas facilities. The right material selection and piping system specification are emphasized.
Course Objectives:
- Apply piping system codes and standards
- About line sizing and layout of piping systems in various types of facilities
- How to specify proper components for process and utility applications
- Compare alternative materials of construction
- The process of steelmaking, pipe manufacturing and material specifications
- Joining methods and inspection techniques
- Key considerations for flare and vent systems, including PSV sizing
