Introduction

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.

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 exposed to different method of checking pipe flexibility

Audience

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.

MAESTRO CONSULTANTS Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
