Course Description:
                  • The course will review the basic requirements of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping.
                  • Topics include: design conditions, pipe sizing, pressure design, flexibility analysis, material,

                     fabrication, examination, testing, and mechanical integrity for existing piping systems, as

                     provided in API 570 Piping Inspection Code.

.

Course Objective:

                • To provide the participant with a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of
                    Piping Technology
                • The participant will learn the design, fabrication, examination and testing requirements of

                     ASME B31
                • Familiarizing the participant with the related standards for inspection and repair of piping

                    systems that have been in service, as provided in API 570, Piping Inspection Code
                • The participant will gain a deep understanding of the physical phenomena which affect the

                    operation, durability of piping systems
                • Participant will learn to calculate the pipe schedule, and pipe size that serve certain

                    application
                • Participant will learn different methods of pipe inspection and testing based on related

                    Codes and Standards
                • Participant will be exposed to different methods of checking pipe flexibility

.

Who Should Attend:
                Engineers and Technicians of mechanical, and chemical engineering background will benefit

                largely from this workshop. Maintenance, Operation, inspection, and R and D People should

                also attend this course.
