Process Piping Materials, Fabrication, Examination & Testing (Conforms to ASME Code B31.3)
Course Description
This comprehensive course is designed to illustrate the relationship of the Fabrication & Examination rules of the B31.3 Code to the Design and Materials rules. Examples of problems that occur as a result of not understanding the relationship of the ASME code to design rules and materials selection are featured. The primary goal of this course is to provide insight into the rules relating to the ASME B31.3 Fabrication and Examination code.

Piping engineers and designers, fabricators and erectors, QA/QC personnel, engineers and maintenance personnel who desire a more in depth understanding of the Fabrication and Examination rules of the ASME Codes & Standards, operation, mechanical and maintenance personnel, inspection and quality personnel responsible for specifying, operating, inspecting and maintaining piping systems, code compliance personnel, regulatory personnel, consulting engineers, design engineers, maintenance engineers, project engineers, maintenance personnel, service engineers, planners and schedulers, M & E foremen, technical assistants & coordinators & technicians
