Layout of Process Piping Systems ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code

PD720 PD642 ASME STANDARDS COURSE
Piping arrangements take up the majority of the work in the design This course provides an introduction to the ASME B31.1 Power
of a process plant. Traditionally, there has been little formal training Piping Code. It covers the requirements of B31.1 for design, analysis,
in the design and location of piping, and many design decisions materials, fabrication, testing and inspection of process piping
are based on practical considerations without formulae or code systems. The instructor provides insight into how they have evolved
reinforcements. and what future changes may be expected.
This course discusses the design procedures and practices involved This course explores the rules for various components including
in the location of equipment and layout of the piping systems. It fittings, connections, bends, valves, expansion joints and specialty
provides attendees with the background and guidance required to components. Other topics include dimensions and ratings of
design, engineer and complete piping engineering assignments and components, fluid service requirements for joints, piping flexibility and
follow acceptable layout procedures. support, welding, heat treatment, bending and forming, brazing and
soldering, assembly, erection, examination and inspection and testing.
Each participant will receive a copy of the book, Detail Engineering
and Layout of Piping Systems, by Bob Wilson. Each student will receive a copy of the ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code.
