Piping Failures – Causes and Prevention

MC117 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE
This one-day MasterClass provides a practical examination of the
fundamental causes of piping failures and describes how the failures
could have been prevented. A wide variety of failures are discussed,
and include mechanisms such as fatigue, overload, corrosion and
others. Mistakes made during design, construction, operation,
maintenance and inspection are reviewed in detail.
Sessions are focused on real-world examples and case studies,
with active class discussion and analysis.

You Will Learn To
• Identify the probable causes of piping failures
• Recommend methods to correct future similar failures
Who Should Attend
Engineers, senior designers, maintenance, quality assurance,
inspection and manufacturing personnel who work with process
