Duration: 2 Days
Delivery: Live Online Instructor-Led Training
Investment: R10,499.00 per Delegate
Course Overview
The lack of commentary, or historical perspective, regarding the B31.3 Code requirements for process piping design and construction is an obstacle to the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector, and owner who want to provide a safe and economical piping system.
This intensive Two-day course, through the use of hundreds of examples shown and personal experiences of the instructor, demonstrates how the B31.3 Code has been correctly and incorrectly applied.
This seminar explains the principle intentions of the Code and why the Code is not a handbook. Attendees come away from this seminar with a clear understanding of how piping systems fail & what the Code requires the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector and owner to do to prevent such failures.
The focus of the seminar is to enhance participants’ understanding and application of the B31.3 Code. Instruction is further enhanced by in-class problem solving, directly applying the rules and equations of the B31.3 Code for specific design and operating conditions to illustrate correct applications
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- Piping engineers & designers who need an understanding of the requirements for compliance and the trends of Code changes for piping design and analysis, fabrication, examination, and testing.
