You Will Learn To The course covers (a) the code and regulatory requirements, (b) the
technical and historical basis of the requirements, and (c) best industry
• Describe the applications of the basic NDE practices for the correct and cost-effective design, analysis, and
integrity assessment.
• Explain the principles, procedures, evaluation reporting and ASME
Code requirements of the basic NDE methods You Will Learn To
• Identify the techniques of the visual, penetrant, magnetic particle, • Describe Class 1, Class 2/3, and B31.1 nuclear piping design
radiographic, ultrasonic, and eddy current testing methods requirements
Who Should Attend • Explain the differences between Class 1, Class 2/3, and B31.1
Design, structural, maintenance and materials engineers, and • Describe the NRC regulatory requirements related to ASME III and
management, supervisors, regulators, auditors, and project managers B31.1 piping systems
Special Requirements • Evaluate normal operating loads (pressure, weight, thermal
expansion)
This MasterClass is structured on the assumption that participants
have a basic understanding of ASME B31.1 or B31.3 Piping Codes. • Evaluate postulated design loads (seismic, waterhammer, vibration,
pipe break, etc.)
Participants are encouraged to bring examples of particularly
challenging issues encountered on the job for in-class discussion. • Determine how to make the correct and cost-effective decisions in
the design and modification of nuclear piping
Instructor: Larry Mullins
3 Days, 2.30 CEUs, 23.00 PDHs • Evaluate corroded (wall-thinning) nuclear piping
Dates: 11–13 June, 2018, London, GBR
Member: £1.575 / List Price £1.670 • Evaluate crack-like flaws in nuclear piping
• Assess operability of piping systems for abnormal conditions
Who Should Attend
Engineers involved in the design, analysis, and qualification of ASME
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Safety Class 1, 2 & 3 piping systems,
and ASME B31.1 for nuclear power plants. Participants are expected
to have at least one year of experience in the design, maintenance, or
operation of a nuclear power reactor facility.
