ASME B31.3 and B31.1 Practical Piping Design for Process and Power Applications (Sep26)

Description

Are you qualified as an inspector or a supervisor? As an Engineer, Designer or Contractor do you aspire to have a stronger understanding of the relationship between the fabrication and manufacture compared to the design and construction of pipes? Are you a piping engineer who wants to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between Process and Power Piping codes?

This course introduces the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code. It covers the requirements of B31.3 for design, analysis, materials, fabrication, testing, and inspection of process piping systems. Since these requirements are similar to that of ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code, it notes significant and subtle differences between the two Codes. While the Codes are different, it boils down to good piping design. The course explores the rules for various components which includes fittings, connections, bends, valves, and specialty components. Other topics include dimensions and ratings of components, fluid service requirement for joints, piping flexibility and support, welding, heat treatment, bending and forming, brazing, and soldering, assembly, erection, examination, and inspection.
