WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Worldwide competitiveness is forcing the need to construct more effective piping systems, possible only if existing piping codes and standards are understood and intentions realized. This intensive five day course brings you updated information on current Power Piping Code requirements and provides insight to how these requirements have evolved and what future changes in the Code may be expected. This course explores the background, rules and trends in piping design, analysis, and fabrication – vital elements of power, industrial and institutional plant construction and maintenance – within the context of meeting the requirements and intent of ASME B31.1 and its appendices. Upon completion of this course, participants will have an understanding of:
· Why the Code is intentionally simplified and how to deal with special and complex piping problems
· The principal failure modes of piping components and where to look for such failures
· The difference between pressure component design and structural design
· Layout and simplified analysis techniques
· How to qualify nonstandard fittings and joints
· How to develop stress intensification factors
· Materials selection and limitations
· Fabrication rules and their bases
· Welding qualification requirements
· Inspection, examination, and testing requirements WHO SHOULD ATTEND Engineers entering the piping design and analysis field; practicing piping engineers requiring background on Code compliance and trends in piping design, analysis and fabrication; piping fabricators and suppliers wishing to understand the relationship of fabrication and manufacture to the design and construction of piping systems; and QA/QC personnel. SPECIAL FEATURES & REQUIREMENTS Day 5 is a workshop in which attendees will have an opportunity to apply what they have learned to piping design and construction problems. Attendees are required to bring a scientific calculator to the course. Each student will receive a copy of the latest edition of the ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code Book. |
