ASME Process Piping, Valve, Flanges Training Course

Overview Objectives Audience Methodology Contents Certificate FAQ's

Course Overview

The integrity of the piping system depends upon the considerations and principles used for designing, constructing, inspecting and maintaining the system. Compliance with ANSI/API code requirements for design and construction is needed to assure the safety of petroleum refinery and chemical plant piping. Achieving this desired safety depends on the comprehension and application of these standards by the designer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, and inspector.

This ASME Process Piping, Valve, Flanges course is designed to give the participants a thorough understanding of Process Piping Code, ASME B 31.3. Flange code ASME B 16.5, Valve standard ASME B 16.34, and it will cover Piping layout Engineering. It will help candidates learn the ASME Specification and have to use it. You will understand how to specify and select valves, flanges, pipes, and the use of P&IDs. This course will also provide a background of ANSI / ASME / API code guidance on design, selection of materials, fabrication, testing, and practical methods and trends in piping design and construction. Course deals with the various P & IDs, Equipment Plot Plans, Piping Arrangements, and Fabrication Drawings. This will include pipe sizing, piping specifications, and isometrics, including valves and fittings, piping hangers, and supports.

Learning Objectives

Attendance in the ASME Process Piping, Valve, Flanges training course will enable participants:

To familiarize participants with the main concepts of ASME B 31.3 code.
