Pipeline Design to B31 ASME Design & Specifications

Overview:

Introduction:

This program is designed to provide the participant with a complete, comprehensive, simplified, and practical understanding of the ASME B31 Code with reference to Existing Petroleum Process Piping Inspection, Maintenance, Repair, and Integrity.
This program is intended for Professionals involved in Pipeline Management, Maintenance-Planning, Operation, Repair, and Maintenance.
This program will build practical capabilities in Developing Implementation Strategies for Pipeline Inspection & Maintenance,  Preparing Detailed Maintenance Plans, Investigating & Implementing  Improvements, and Building Knowledgebase for Inspection, Maintenance, and Integrity Processes.
The program covers Industry Practice ASME B31 and includes  Good and Best Practices in this Field. Included in the program are Strategies for Preventive, Corrective, and Condition Based Maintenance.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Identify what issues to take into consideration when designing process piping
• Explain the pressure design of piping and piping components
• Analyze piping flexibility and gauge the limitations of piping and piping components
• Identify pipe supports, leak testing, piping failures, and their causes

Targeted Audience:

This course is intended for piping engineers and designers who need an understanding of the requirements for compliance and the trends of Code changes for piping design and analysis, fabrication, examination, and testing. Participants should have at least two years of piping experience.
