Design and Integrity Stress Analysis of Piping Systems and Pipelines

Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 2,500

Overview

This course comprises two sections. The first examines the design requirements for process plant piping systems. The second section examines the maintenance requirements for these systems. In each case, the course goes beyond merely repeating the material contained in the governing standards.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the total structural integrity of process plant piping systems throughout their useful life
• Discover how the ASME B31.3 code has been correctly and incorrectly applied.
• Ensure the total structural integrity of process plant piping systems throughout their useful life.
• Discuss and apply the design requirements of the ASME B 31.3 Code.
• Achieve higher levels of maintenance excellence in refineries and other process plants.
• Examine and apply the maintenance and inspection requirements of API 570 to process plant piping systems.
• Perform engineering audits of designs and procedures
