with the actual behaviour of the piping system.
You Will Learn To
You Will Learn To • Identify the probable causes of piping vibration
• Define the analytical basis of piping design rules contained in
either the ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code or ASME B31.3 • Determine if vibration is likely to be excessive
Process Piping Code • Recommend methods to correct the problem if the vibration
is excessive
• Evaluate the significance of the modelling assumptions and how
they affect the final design
Who Should Attend
• Apply the step-by-step design logic for reviewing stress analysis Engineers, senior designers, maintenance, quality assurance,
outputs and understanding how to locate and resolve problems inspection and manufacturing personnel who work with process
• Interpret the significance of the calculated stresses and the piping (e.g., in the chemical, petroleum, plastic processing, pulp
importance of stress categories and paper fields)
