Overview

An Engineering Education Australia Virtual Workshop:

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers' (ASME) B31.3 Process Piping Code is considered to be the international standard for piping in processing plants.

The Code is used for piping typically found in petroleum refineries; chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants; and related process plants and terminals.

This interactive workshop, facilitated by an international expert from the USA, provides an introduction to the Code, covering the requirements for the design, analysis, materials, fabrication, testing and inspection of process piping systems. Changes to the latest edition, B31.3. - 2018, will also be covered.

You'll also explore the rules for various components including fittings, connections, bends, valves and specialty components and look at trends in Code changes and how they could affect your work and projects.

By the end of this course you'll:

• be aware of the requirements to safely design process piping to U.S. standards;
• able to identify the issues to take into consideration when designing process piping;
• explain the pressure design of piping and relevant components;
• analyse piping flexibility and gauge the limitations of piping and relevant components; and
• identify pipe supports, leak testing, piping failures and their causes.

This course is run exclusively by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers with Engineering Education Australia.

Special Requirements

• Participants are required to bring their own calculator.
• The B31.3 code book is not provided with registration and is available to order through ASME.
