ASME B31.3 and B31.1 Practical Piping Design for Process and Power Applications
What you'll learn
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
Identify the responsibilities of personnel involved in the design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of process and/or power piping
Describe the scope and technical requirements of the ASME B31.3 Code as well as differences in ASME B31.1.
Apply and implement the quality requirements that are defined in the ASME B31.3 and B31.1 Code.
Explain the principal failure modes of piping components and where to look for them
Describe the layout and simplified and formal analysis techniques
Who should attend?
This course is designed for engineers, managers and quality personnel who are involved in the design, manufacturing, fabrication, and examination of process piping that is being built to the requirements of U.S. Codes & Standards.
Engineers entering the piping design and analysis field
Practicing piping engineers requiring background on Code compliance and trends in piping design, analysis, and fabrication
QA/QC personnel
Piping Designers involved in the design, layout, of pressure piping systems.
Process Plant Layout and Piping Design, Level-III
What you'll learn
Implement Design Strategy: Develop and enforce a comprehensive Basis of Design (BOD) for layout, driving standardization and compliance across the project.
Manage Brownfield Constraints: Master the advanced planning and execution required for integrating new piping systems into existing plant infrastructure (Brownfield projects), minimizing shutdown time and maximizing safety.
Optimize Project Cost (Value Engineering): Apply Value Engineering (VE) principles to layout decisions to achieve quantifiable reductions in CAPEX (material costs) and OPEX (maintenance and energy costs).
Lead Safety and Review Workshops: Effectively participate in and lead HAZOP, SIL, and advanced 3D Model Review sessions, driving corrective actions that resolve critical risks.
Validate Stress Analysis Feedback: Critically review the Stress Analysis Report to ensure the final layout satisfies mechanical integrity requirements and manage design iteration cycles efficiently.
Develop Modularization Plans: Evaluate the technical feasibility and cost benefits of modularization and offsite fabrication for large sections of the plant.
