About This Course
This highly specialized course provides essential, in-depth training on performing static pipe stress analysis using ROHR2 with strict adherence to the EN 13480 (Metallic Industrial Piping) series. This standard is mandatory for projects within the European Union and highly influential globally.
Participants will master the EN 13480-3 calculation methodologies, including the specific rules for material properties, component flexibility, and allowable stress criteria unique to the European standard. The course focuses on practical application within ROHR2, ensuring that all models are technically compliant, auditable, and optimized for safety and cost-effectiveness in line with European engineering best practices.
