This course provides comprehensive coverage of ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3 of process piping code requirements.
It has been completely revised, reorganised and updated, and includes descriptions of important new requirements in the latest edition of ASME B31.1 / B31.3 including the philosophy behind changes. The course will review the basic requirements of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping with emphasis on B31.3 Process Piping. General topics in the course include: Code organisation and intent, pressure design, design for sustained loads including support design, flexibility thermal analysis, equipment loads, expansion joints, support design loads and restraints, materials, and piping components. Applications of these concepts including flexible thermal analysis using the Shear Stress Theory Principle will be demonstrated.
The course covers Code requirements from design through start-up of new piping systems, as well as standards for inspection of piping systems that have been in service. This course provides a working knowledge of the Code, how it is organised, its intent, the basis for requirements, including piping design. It provides a foundation of knowledge necessary for those responsible for assuring the mechanical integrity of existing piping systems, as well as those responsible for designing and constructing new piping systems.
LEARN HOW TO...
- Apply the latest revision of ASME B31.3 standard
- Recognise metallic pipe and fitting selection including its system failure, bases for selection and method requirements
- Identify the strengths of materials including its requirements and explain the bases for stresses.
- Determine components of pressure design and apply the concepts of weld joints strength factor and design pressure and temperature.
- Acquire knowledge on the design of flanges joints and describe its features and functions
- Introduce flexibility and flexibility analysis and explain the general considerations for the layout and support of the pipes.
- Enumerate the various types of designs of expansion joints and describe their components and use.
- Carry out the fabrication and installation methods of piping and list the requirements and guidelines needed on the inspection, examination and testing of pipes.
- Heighten awareness with the concept of instrument piping and pressure relieving systems and determine how these systems can be designed.
