This 6.5-hour course will provide the piping designer and engineer with the broad, but specific information they need to perform their job more efficiently and effectively. It will provide a better understanding of regulatory compliance, system ratings, and leak testing requirements. The attendee will gain the information they need in order to understand better pipe specifications, the piping design process, and its various elements in the preparation and execution of a project.

The course will be delivered in three sessions. Each session will be divided further into subject matter parts, providing somewhat convenient increments for a momentary pause or a lengthy break.

What will you learn in this course?

• Session 1 sets the stage by introducing the student to the history of codes and standards, how to interpret regulations, and learning how they are developed and what is done to avoid conflicting rules between codes.
• Session 2 steps through the ASME B31.3 Process Piping code chapter by a chapter explaining the critical points of each chapter. It then touches on code boundaries and project planning.
• Session 3 pulls it all together to stop the student from developing pipe material specifications, selecting flange ratings, various design elements, welding, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, installation, leak testing, and turnover documentation.
