ME0600 : ASME B31.1 Power Piping Design, Analysis and Fabrication

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

Worldwide competitiveness is forcing the need to construct more effective piping systems, possible only if existing piping codes and standards are understood and the intentions realized.  This course brings you up to the minute on current Power Piping Code requirements and provides insight into how these requirements have evolved and what future changes in the Code may be expected. 

 

The course explores the background, rules and trends in piping design, analysis, and fabrication, and the vital elements of power, industrial and institutional plant construction and maintenance – within the context of meeting the requirements and intent of ASME B31.1 and its appendices. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the principal failure modes of piping components and where to look for such failures; the differences between pressure component design and structural design; the layout and simplified analysis techniques; how to qualify nonstandard fittings and joints; the stress intensification factors; the common and less common welding processes, advantages and disadvantages; the fabrication and examination rules and their bases; and the various code for operation and maintenance.
