Bases and Application of Piping Flexibility Piping Vibration Causes and Remedies
Analysis to ASME B31 Codes
MC110 MASTERCLASS SERIES / ASME STANDARDS COURSE
The rules of B31.1 and B31.3 have considerations that can have a
significant impact on the design of systems and associated equipment.
This interactive two-day MasterClass will provide a thorough insight
into the history and bases for the rules for piping design. The program
will provide a review of the detailed design procedures and a thorough
explanation of the significant assumptions and available options.
Through both presentation and discussion, attendees will gain a
greater appreciation and understanding of how these assumptions
and options can impact their designs.
The class will include detailed scenarios/case studies that
demonstrate, for “real-world” piping, how the rules are to be applied
and how the options can influence the final design. Examples will be
reviewed showing how outputs from computer analysis can be broken
down into understandable pieces and verified that the results are
consistent with the actual behaviour of the piping system.
You Will Learn To
• Define the analytical basis of piping design rules contained in either
the ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code or ASME B31.3
Process Piping Code
• Evaluate the significance of the modelling assumptions and how
they affect the final design
• Apply the step-by-step design logic for reviewing stress analysis
outputs and understanding how to locate and resolve problems
• Interpret the significance of the calculated stresses and the
importance of stress categories
Who Should Attend
Piping engineers/designers, developers of piping analysis design
software, as well as managers/supervisors of piping design activities
Special Requirements
This MasterClass is structured on the assumption that participants
have a basic understanding of ASME B31.1 or B31.3 Piping Codes.
Participants are encouraged to bring examples of particularly
challenging issues encountered on the job for in-class discussion.

– A Practical Approach
MC111 MASTERCLASS SERIES / ASME STANDARDS COURSE PIPING AND PIPELINES • MASTERCLASS SERIES
This two-day MasterClass provides a foundation of knowledge
necessary for those responsible for assuring the mechanical integrity
of existing piping systems, as well as those responsible for designing
and constructing new piping systems. The program presents the
background on fundamental causes of piping vibration and describes
how to identify sources of vibration. Rules of thumb and simplified
methods for evaluating vibration severity, as well as methods of
treatment are discussed. A wide variety of causes of vibration will
be explored in detail in order to enable the participant to properly
evaluate the variety of piping vibration problems that can occur in
piping systems.
Participants are encouraged to bring examples of troublesome
vibration problems they have experienced or are experiencing for
class discussion.
You Will Learn To
• Identify the probable causes of piping vibration
• Determine if vibration is likely to be excessive
• Recommend methods to correct the problem if the vibration
is excessive
Who Should Attend
Engineers, senior designers, maintenance, quality assurance,
inspection and manufacturing personnel who work with process piping
(e.g., in the chemical, petroleum, plastic processing, pulp
and paper fields)
Special Requirements
This Master Class is structured on the assumption that participants have
a basic understanding of at least one of the ASME B31 piping codes.
Participants are encouraged to bring examples of particularly
challenging issues encountered on the job for in-class discussion.
