Gas Transmission & Distribution Piping Systems

(Conforms to ASME Code B31.8)

Introduction:

ASME B31.8 is the most widely used Code for the design, operation, maintenance, and repair of natural gas distribution and transmission pipelines.  This course explains the present-day piping Code provisions, the principal intentions of the Code, and how the Code should be used.  The emphasis is on transmission pipelines.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

· Explain the causes and modes of pipeline failure

· Describe the considerations for material specifications, pipe manufacturing, and pipe joining

· Estimate pipeline stresses from external loadings

· Explain how to evaluate pipeline defects

· Identify pipeline repair techniques

· Identify the elements of pipeline integrity

· Explain how code requirements address these issues

· Explain the differences between B31.8 and US DOT gas pipeline regulations

Who Should Attend?

Engineers; Code compliance personnel; Operation and Maintenance Personnel; Regulatory Personnel
