This design course trains participants to comply with the requirements of ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code. This course features a deep overview of the code, including the background, rules and trends in power piping design and analysis – all vital elements of the power, industrial and institutional plant life cycle.
The key objective of this course is to examine how various stakeholders employ the B31.1 Code requirements to effectively design power piping systems and prevent piping system failures.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Identify the difference between “Design by Rule” and “Design by Analysis” codes.
- Discover the principal failure modes of piping components and where to look for them.
- Recognize the difference between pressure component design and structural design.
- Investigate the importance of piping flexibility.
- Discuss how to develop stress intensification factors.
- Recognize how to qualify nonstandard fittings and joints.
Topics covered in this course include:
- ASME B31 Scope and Operations
- Piping Failure Modes
- Piping Design Conditions
- ASME B31.1 Piping Design Criteria
- Component and System Design
- Pressure Design and Straight Pipe
- Pressure Design of Piping Components
- Guarding Against Pipe Collapse
- Providing Adequate Piping Flexibility
- Stress Intensification Factors
- Simplified Piping Analysis and Layout
- Pipe Support Design
Who should attend?
- Practicing piping engineers requiring background on Code compliance and trends in piping design, analysis, and fabrication expectations.
- Piping manufacturers, fabrication personnel, fabricators, erectors, and suppliers wishing to understand the relationship of manufacture, fabrication, and installation to the design of power piping systems.
- Jurisdictional, in-company examination and inspection, and QA/QC personnel seeking to understand the design and construction requirements they are responsible to assure and control
