ASME B31.3: Process Piping Design and Construction

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Master the organization, scope, and provisions of the ASME B31.3 Code.
•  Perform stress analysis to confirm compliance with safety and operational demands.
•  Identify suitable materials for various service conditions based on code standards.
•  Interpret and implement rules for the fabrication, testing, and quality assurance of piping systems.
•  Develop strategies to prevent failures and enhance piping system reliability.

This course is designed for professionals involved in piping systems design, construction, and maintenance from industries such as chemical processing, petrochemical plants, and refineries. Their roles may involve overseeing construction projects, ensuring regulatory compliance, and conducting inspections. They might be working in positions such as Process Engineer, Plant Inspector, or Project Manager, and are expected to have a basic understanding of engineering principles.
