PIPING SYSTEM, MECHANICAL DESIGN, AND SPESIFICATION

DESCRIPITION

The course will review the basic requirements of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping with emphasis on B31.3, Process Piping. Threaded throughout the course will be comparisons between ASME B31.3 and ASME B31.1, Power Piping.. General topics in the course include: Code organization and intent, pressure design, design for sustained loads including support design, flexibility analysis, equipment loads, expansion joints, supports and restraints, materials, fabrication, examination, testing, and, for existing piping systems, mechanical integrity. 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. Inspection and maintenance (mechanical integrity) of existing piping systems will also be covered, as provided in API 570, Piping Inspection Code.

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.

COURSE GOALS

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to understand piping technology with an emphasis on process piping.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

By the end of this course, the participant will be able to:

• Understand design, fabrication, examination and testing requirements of ASME B31.3.
• Determine code requirements from design through start-up of new piping systems, as well as standards for inspection and repair of piping systems that have been in service, as provided in API 570, Piping Inspection Code.
• Understand how the code is organized, its intent, the basis for requirements, including both design and construction (fabrication, erection and testing) aspects.
• Assure of the mechanical integrity of existing piping systems.
• Understanding the physical phenomena which affect the design of piping systems
• Use the ASME Code formulas and other methods by which these phenomena can be analyzed to determine resulting stresses, evaluation of those stresses relative to ASME Code limitations.
• Use the methods by which piping systems are fabricated, inspected and tested.
• Understand additional requirements which need to be in a fabrication/installation specification to ensure adequate and proper installation
