Process Piping Materials, Fabrication, Examination & Testing (Conforms to ASME Code B31.3)

Introduction:

This comprehensive course is designed to illustrate the relationship of the Fabrication & Examination rules of the B31.3 Code to the Design and Materials rules.  Examples of problems that occur as a result of not understanding the relationship of the ASME code to design rules and materials selection are featured.  The primary goal of this course is to provide insight into the rules relating to the ASME B31.3 Fabrication and Examination code.

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

· Describe the materials selection process and limitations

· Identify fabrication rules and their bases

· Describe the relationship between B31.3 design and the fabrication & examination requirements

· Explain the welding qualification requirements

· Identify the inspection, examination, and testing requirements

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
