Design and Fabrication of Piping Systems and Code Requirements

Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Compliance with ANSI/API code requirements for design and construction is needed to assure the safety of petroleum refinery and chemical plant piping. The designer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, and inspector’s understanding and application of these requirements is essential in producing this desired safety.

Learning Objectives

• Familiarize participants with the organization and intent of the B 31.3 code
• Know how to read the code, and interpret its stated and implied requirements
• What issues to take into consideration when designing process piping
• Pressure design of piping and piping components
• How to analyze piping flexibility and gauge the limitations of piping and piping components
• Provide participants step-by-step approach to piping design, including the design optimization techniques.
• Introduce participants with various material selection, fabrication, erection and testing of piping systems.
• Be able to understand the mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions and optional stipulations given in the code and other service restrictions on piping systems.
• How to conduct and certify the pressure testing.
• Understand the principles of piping integrity assessments as per API 570 and to make run-repair-replace decisions.
• Know how to calculate Remaining life and MAWP of piping system
