Objectives: To understand the design requirements of ASME B31.3 and go beyond the literary words of the code by explaining important code paragraphs and related ASME code interpretations, where even a close study of the code on its own may not produce a clear conclusion. This is accomplished with applied workshops each day and numerous real life practical examples. The course also includes over 300 photos (35 mm slides) of actual plant piping and pipeline situations in many different locations worldwide. These photos enrich the practical approach taken to explain the code with real life engineering experiences. Accreditation: Each participant will receive a certificate with 3.2 Continuing Education Units accredited by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET). Who Should Attend: Engineers, designers, senior fabrication personnel, QA supervisors, and senior inspectors who work for pressure vessel owners, fabricators, inspection companies, EPC's and government agencies. Topics: Introduction: - piping code history and basic philosophy - piping code organization Definitions: - principal axis and stress - failure theories - stress categories - definition and basis for allowable stress Piping Design Criteria: - design conditions - design loads (pressure, weight, thermal, seismic, wind, vibration, hydraulic, anchor movement) - failure modes - primary and secondary stress categories - load categorization - allowable stresses Component Design: - elbows and bends - branch connections - extruded outlet header - block pattern fittings - closures - flanges - blind flanges - blanks - expansion joints Pressure Design: - wall thickness calculation - area replacement - bend-wall thinning variation from normal conditions - pressure-temperature ratings Pipe Flexibility Analysis: - flexibility - bending stress - torsional stress - fatigue - stress intensification - combined loads - cold spring - simplified analysis methods Pipe Support Design: - support types - assumptions - load combinations - variable supports - lugs and attachments Piping Types: - system piping - pressure relief piping - hazzardous material piping Problem Solving Workshops: - with practical examples Purchasing Code Documents: The ASME B31.3 code is available to CASTI course registrants at an educational discount price. |
