ASME’s Process Piping Design

(Conforms to ASME Code B31.3)

Introduction:

This course will introduce participants to the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code. 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. This course will show the candidates how piping systems fail and what the Code requires the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector and owner to do to prevent that is the aim of this intensive four-day seminar.  Using hundreds of real-world examples as well as the personal experiences of the instructors, the course demonstrates how the B31.3 Code has been both correctly and incorrectly applied.  Lessons are enhanced by actual in-class problem solving, directly applying the rules and equations of the B31.3 Code for specific design and operating conditions to illustrate correct applications.

This course contains requirements for piping typically found in petroleum refineries; chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants, and related processing plants and terminals. The requirements cover materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping. This Code applies to piping for all fluids including raw, intermediate, and finished chemicals; petroleum products; gas, steam, air and water; fluidized solids; refrigerants; and cryogenic fluids. Also included is piping which interconnects pieces or stages within a packaged equipment assembly.

Course Objectives:

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

· Identify what issues to take into consideration when designing process piping

· Explain the pressure design of piping and piping components

· Analyze piping flexibility and gauge the limitations of piping and piping components

· Identify pipe supports, leak testing, piping failures and their causes

Who Should Attend?

Piping engineers and designers, fabricators and erectors, QA/QC personnel, engineers and maintenance personnel who desire a more in depth understanding of the Fabrication and Examination rules of the ASME Codes & Standards, operation, mechanical and maintenance personnel, inspection and quality personnel responsible for specifying, operating, inspecting and maintaining piping systems, code compliance personnel, regulatory personnel, consulting engineers, design engineers, maintenance engineers, project engineers, maintenance personnel, service engineers, planners and schedulers, M & E foremen, technical assistants & coordinators & technicians
