At completion of this 5-day course, the participants will be have an in- depth understanding of the ASME B31 design, construction, inspection and testing rules; as well as their application to integrity assessment of operating systems.
The participants will gain an in-depth knowledge of pipe and fitting material specifications, fabrication process and influence on mechanical properties of strength and toughness, to help in material selection and failure analysis.
The participant will understand the technical background to the design equations, and their application to the design of piping systems and pipelines.
The course addresses rules of good practice in layout of piping systems for reliable operation. The course provides an in-depth, step-by-step review of operating transients in piping systems and pipelines, their cause, and the methods for their analysis.
Course Objective
The course covers construction and welding practices, weld inspections, weld flaws and acceptance criteria. The course covers hydro testing methods and alternative leak detection techniques. The participant will gain a practical understanding of piping and pipeline corrosion mechanisms, how to recognize them, classify them and resolve them.
The participant will be introduced to the latest techniques and research in piping and pipeline integrity to analyze a degraded condition due to either corrosion or mechanical damage.
The participants will review case histories of field failures and will evaluate their cause and solutions to avoid recurrence.
Course Certificate
Masters Consultant certificate will be issued to all attendees completing minimum of 75% of the total tuition hours of the Course.
Who Should attend?
The course is intended for engineers, maintenance technicians and inspectors responsible for the design, integrity, maintenance and repair of pipelines and piping systems.
