PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND


This program provides a sound understanding of the ASME B31 and API 579 design, construction, inspection and testing rules; as well as their application to integrity assessment of operating systems. The participants will gain an in-depth knowledge of pipe and fitting material specifications, fabrication process and influence on mechanical properties of strength and toughness, to help in material selection and failure analysis.

It provides the participants with the technical background to the design equations, and their application to the design of piping systems and pipelines. It also addresses the rules of good practice in layout of piping systems for reliable operation. The program provides an in-depth, step-by-step review of operating transients in piping systems and pipelines, their cause, and the methods for their analysis.
