In any of the 5 star hotels. The exact venue will be informed once finalized.

The course will review the basic requirements of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping. Topics include: design conditions, pipe sizing, pressure design, flexibility analysis, material, fabrication, examination, testing, and mechanical integrity for existing piping systems, as provided in API 570 Piping Inspection Code.

Objective

To provide the participant with a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of Piping Technology
The participant will learn the design, fabrication, examination and testing requirements of ASME B31
Familiarizing the participant with the related standards for inspection and repair of piping systems that have been in service, as provided in API 570, Piping Inspection Code
The participant will gain a deep understanding of the physical phenomena which affect the operation, durability of piping systems
Participant will learn to calculate the pipe schedule, and pipe size that serve certain application
Participant will learn different methods of pipe inspection and testing based on related Codes and Standards
Participant will be exposed to different method of checking pipe flexibility

Audience

Engineers and Technicians of mechanical, and chemical engineering background will benefit largely from this workshop. Maintenance, Operation, inspection, and R and D People should also attend this course.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course. All presentations are made in excellent colorful power point. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
