Who Should Attend
The course is directed primarily toward entry level personnel
responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of
piping and fittings. The material would be of value to the staff
of facilities where the flow of fluids is essential. It will apply to
many industries such as-
Process
- Pharmaceutical
- Power systems
- Refinery systems
The information found in this course would be useful for
many phases of plant operations including process piping
development, start-up, operation, scale-up, troubleshooting
and maintenance.
Experienced process and mechanical engineers, as well as
management and quality assurance personnel responsible for
piping systems oversight, will find the course material useful.
Description
This course is intended to bridge the gap between fluid
mechanics theory and the practical demands of industrial
pipe sizing, systems design and troubleshooting. It provides
systemic methods and shortcuts for analyzing flow and
pressure drops in piping systems, beginning with relatively
simple techniques for incompressible fluids, to the more
complex analysis of two-phase flow in piping systems.
The course includes:-
Examination of the effect of fluid properties on fluid flow
through piping systems
- How to estimate or extrapolate these properties logically
- An introduction to the pipe, tubing and fittings, and their
impact on fluid flow and pressure drop
- Special attention to control valves and safety pressure relief
devices
- Simple incompressible fluids, such as liquids; compressible
fluids, such as gases and vapors, with the more complex
two-phase flow systems
- Vacuum piping, its similarities and differences to gas flow;
sizing and selection of vacuum equipment
- Sizing and selection of fluid movers, such as pumps, fans,
blowers and compressors; identifying and solving the various
problems such as cavitation and surge
- Shortcut methods which can increase efficiency in pipe
sizing and troubleshooting
