Introduction

Ref No: ME047
Title:      Piping Design Construction & Mechanical Integrity
Start Date: 12 June 2023 End Date: 16 June 2023
Venue:   Dubai, UAE
Fee:   $5,250

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

This course comprises two sections. The first examines the design requirements for process plant piping systems. The second section examines the maintenance requirements for these systems. In each case, the course goes beyond merely repeating the material contained in the governing standards. It discusses practical applications and typical procedures. The course also contains sample problems that are put together with written exercises for you to complete.

Objective

The aim of this course is to provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of Piping Technology with an emphasis on process piping. The course covers design, fabrication, examination and testing requirements of ASME B31.3. It covers 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.

After completion of the course the participants will be able to:

Understand the total structural integrity of process plant piping systems throughout their useful life
Discover how the ASME B31.3 code has been correctly and incorrectly applied.
Ensure the total structural integrity of process plant piping systems throughout their useful life.
Discuss and apply the design requirements of the ASME B 31.3 Code.
Achieve higher levels of maintenance excellence in refineries and other process plants.
Examine and apply the maintenance and inspection requirements of API 570 to process plant piping systems.

Audience

This course provides an overview of all significant aspects and considerations of piping for those who are involved in the design, analysis, fabrication, installation, maintenance or ownership of piping systems. Engineers, Senior Draftsmen, maintenance, quality assurance, and manufacturing personnel who work in the chemical, petroleum, utility, plastic processing, pulp and paper, and manufacturing, and those who must comply with Code requirements.
