Introduction

Pipeline and piping systems are like arteries and veins. They carry the lifeblood of modern civilization. Piping is a major expenditure in the design and construction of industrial, refinery, petrochemical, or power-generating plants when one considers engineering costs, material costs, and fabrication and field labor costs.

Although pipelines are protected by many methods such as coating and cathodic protection, pipe failures are likely to take place due to some forms of corrosion, erosion, or fracture. Therefore, a good understanding of these damage-causing forms and methods to control and repair them will have a good impact on the working life of piping systems.

This course deals with the main topics related to the various defects that piping systems can experience such as Foundations of Fitness-for-Service Assessment, Corrosion and Fracture, Pitting and Mechanical Damage, Fracture and Crack-Like Flaws and Applications.

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 that affect the operation and durability of piping systems.
  • Participants will learn to calculate the pipe schedule, and pipe size that serve certain applications.
  • Participants will learn different methods of pipe inspection and testing based on related Codes and Standards
  • Participants will be exposed to different methods of checking pipe flexibility.
Audience

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