Piping Design, Analysis and Fabrication
17-19 November 2008
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Who Should Attend
This course provides an overview of all significant aspects and
considerations of piping for those who are involved in the design,
analysis, fabrication, installation, maintenance or ownership of
piping systems. Personnel who work in the chemical, petroleum,
utility, plastic processing, paper, manufacturing, environmental,
heat and air conditioning fields will find this course valuable,
including those in-
Engineering
- Quality Assurance
- Maintenance
- Manufacturing
Those who must comply with Code requirements will benefit from
the practical approach presented in this course in obtaining
satisfactory and economical piping systems.
Description
The course will review the basic requirements of the various
sections of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping with
emphasis on B31.1, Power Piping and B31.3, Process Piping.
General topics in the course include: pressure design, flow and
sizing considerations, flexibility analysis, dead loads, equipment
loads, dynamic loads, and supports and restraints. Applications of
these concepts, including simple hand analysis methods and
computer-based analysis methods, will be demonstrated.
Examples of the required analysis and sources of further
information will be provided. The practical aspects of material
selection and fabrication will be considered, including materials for
high and low temperature service, cutting, bending, welding
processes, heat treatment requirements and nondestructive
examination. Code requirements and the practical limitations of
each operation will be discussed, as well as the economics of
material selection and alternate fabrication processes.
Each session will be conducted in a lecture/discussion format
designed to provide intensive instruction and guidance on
understanding Code requirements, and also on developing an
awareness of other considerations in the design, analysis,
fabrication and installation of piping which is not covered by the
Codes. There will also be a demonstration of computer software
that can be used to assist in piping analysis. The faculty will be
available following each day’s session to provide participants with
further opportunity for discussion and consideration of specific
problems.
