A Practical Understanding of Industrial Piping and Associated Equipment
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
  • discover the fundamentals of pipe flow and pressure drop
  • appreciate the basic features of pipe system design
  • develop a fundamental understanding of the components integral with, and equipment connected to, pipe systems
  • appreciate the differences of pipe systems in various types of service
  • apply an understanding of the inspection and maintenance practices associated with pipe systems
Training Objective

  • Look at the standards, codes and regulations associated with pipe system design and operation.
  • Outline the load considerations and design aspects of pipe systems.
  • Provide information on the various types of fittings, valves, insulation and pipe support methods.
  • Examine flow losses associated with both compressible and incompressible fluids.
  • Provide an overview of water, steam, hydraulic, gas, refrigeration, chemical & refinery and fire protection pipe systems.
  • Provide an overview of associated equipment (pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, storage vessels, instrumentation).
  • Discuss inspection and maintenance practices of pipe systems.

Throughout the course consideration will be given to the economic aspects of pipe systems. The course will also contain several exercises that will assist in the understanding of much of the information presented.

Workshop As part of this course, a workshop will be held on the development of justifiable, cost effective preventive maintenance activities for pipe systems. This workshop will enable attendees to develop a list of preventive maintenance activities that can be applied to their own facilities.

Objective to provide an understanding of the fundamentals of a cost efficient pipe systems including pipe flow, pipe fixtures and associated equipment.

Target Audience

Plant and facilities managers, engineers, technicians and supervisors who need to be familiar with the fundamentals associated with pipe system; Plant and facilities operations personnel; Managers, engineers, technicians and supervisors responsible for plants and facilities containing pipe systems. Stationary engineers; Consultants and contractors whose work involves pipe systems.
