Process Piping Code Fundamentals (ASME B31.3)

Introduction:

This comprehensive course provides an introduction to the ASME 31.3 Process Piping Code. It covers the requirements of B31.3 for design, analysis, materials, fabrication, testing and inspection of process piping systems. It explores the rules for various components including fittings, connections, bends, valves and specialty components. Other topics include dimensions and ratings of components, fluid service requirements for joints, piping flexibility and support, welding, heat treatment, bending and forming, brazing and soldering, assembly, erection, examination and inspection.

Course Objectives:

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

· Explain how to apply Code rules to common design and fabrication situations

· Identify pipe stress calculations for various loading situations

· Describe inspection and testing requirements

· Describe the structure and proper use of Section IX

· Identify welding requirements

· Explain how to create a PQR, WPS, and WPQ

· Develop the required skills to review welding documents

· Use design calculations for various loading situations

· Identify Inspection and testing requirements

Who Should Attend?

Pipeline, Piping engineers, managers and quality personnel who are involved in the design, manufacturing, fabrication and examination of process piping that is being built to the requirements of ASME Codes & Standards
