PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND

This program is designed to give a detailed discussion of the subject of process piping fundamentals with emphasis on the basic fluid mechanics aspect. The program also covers the design, fabrication, inspection and testing of process piping. Important piping requirements will be explained in a simple, straight forward manner, including the short-cut methods in designing of pipes, pipe fitting and flanges.

The program is also designed to familiarise the participants with process flow diagrams, piping & instrumentation diagrams, various process equipment including pumps, heat exchangers, vessels & towers etc. It covers line sizing calculations & their impact, selection criteria, dimensional standards, construction isometrics preparation, layouts, underground concepts and introduction to stress analysis. The program also provides the participants with an understanding of the concepts and methodology of stress analysis.
