Engineering and TechnicalPiping Systems Design and Stress Engineering
Covers the engineering fundamentals of process piping design, material selection and stress analysis for pressure piping systems found in refineries, mines and power plants, with attention to thermal expansion challenges common in high ambient temperature installations.
Course objectives
- Apply piping design codes to select pipe classes, fittings and supports
- Perform flexibility and stress analysis for thermal expansion and pressure loads
- Specify pipe supports, expansion joints and anchor points correctly
- Interpret piping isometrics and general arrangement drawings
- Identify common piping failure modes and design mitigations
