Piping Design and Drafting for Process in Oil and Gas

Introduction

This training course will focus on learning the ASME B31.3 for Pressure process piping for the design, materials examination, testing and non-metallic piping. This training course further provides an introduction to the different parts of the ASME B31.3 Standard and will cover all requirements for safe design, construction, inspection, testing, operation and maintenance of liquid pipeline systems. 

The ASME B31.3 Code focuses on the requirements for process piping related to the design, construction, and fabrication, and inspection, examination in a safe and economical piping system.

This training course will feature:

• Design Considerations & Criteria
• Pressure Design of piping Components
• Fluid service requirements for piping components
• Flexibility & Support

• Explain the Fabrication, Assembly, and Erection and identify the required inspection and testing Define hydrostatic pressure and hydrostatic-pneumatic tests
• Receive enough information about the Fluid Service Requirements for Materials
• Explain of nonmetallic piping design, Fluid Service Requirements, inspection, and testing
• Employ pre and post-weld heat treatment and identify the Charpy impact testing

Training Methodology

The interactive program utilizes different methods, such as examples, practical exercises, case studies that enable participants to apply the concepts and methods learned in their actual environment. In each module, participants will review industry related examples & a variety of tools used in respective module topics; interactive group practical exercise/scenario to apply the learned concepts on a real-life situation from the work environment. At the end of the program, the evaluation will incorporate lessons learned.
