Course Description
Reliable, safe, compliant and economic pipe systems are essential if production requirements of process industries and other facilities are to be achieved. Although the piping system may extend through many plant or facility areas and convey fluids in different forms, pipes are nevertheless as important as any single piece of production related equipment. This fact is often overlooked.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
After participating in the seminar, you will be able to:
- increase your awareness of pipe system codes, standards, design and operation
