Course Description
This course provides an overview and covers the main topics for process piping requirements according to the B31.3 Process Piping Code: design and fabrication of piping components or piping flexibility analysis process, including practice application of simplified methods and illustration of computer analysis methods. The Code provides requirements for the design, fabrication, examination and testing of metallic piping systems designed for the wide variety of fluid services used in the process industries. Selection of materials, pipe, valves and fittings will be discussed. The candidates will be able to understand the pressure and thermal stress design requirements of ASME B31.3 Code and go beyond the literary words of the Code by explaining the intent of the Code paragraphs and related Code interpretations, where even a close study of the Code on its own may not produce a clear conclusion. This is accomplished with numerous real life practical examples, including many photos of actual plant piping and pipeline situations in many different locations worldwide. These photos enrich the practical approach taken to explain the Code with real life engineering experiences.
