About this Training

This 40-hour technical training program provides a practical introduction to the design, calculation and engineering requirements of hydrogen piping and pipeline systems using ASME B31.12.

The course is delivered 100% online and on-demand, allowing participants to study at their own pace. Instructor support will be provided through the consultation forum on the Virtual Campus.

Participants will have 120 days of access to the platform to complete the course.

Course Outline

This module covers the main technical aspects required to design hydrogen industrial piping and pipeline systems according to ASME B31.12 and complementary engineering criteria.

Participants will learn how to interpret the organization of the code, evaluate hydrogen service requirements, select suitable materials, define design conditions, calculate pipe wall thicknesses, review welding and fabrication requirements, and apply inspection, testing, operation and maintenance criteria.

The course also includes practical case studies, conceptual questions, design and calculation sheets, and lessons learned based on real industrial projects.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the structure and organization of ASME B31.12, including the GR, IP and PL sections
  • Identify the main properties of hydrogen and their influence on piping and pipeline design
  • Apply ASME B31.12 design criteria to hydrogen industrial piping systems
  • Design gaseous hydrogen pipeline systems using prescriptive and performance-based requirements
  • Select materials suitable for hydrogen service and assess hydrogen embrittlement risks
  • Calculate pipe wall thicknesses, stresses, pressure design requirements and quality factors
  • Evaluate welding, brazing, heat treatment, forming and fabrication requirements
  • Interpret inspection, examination, testing and documentation requirements
  • Define operating, maintenance and safety considerations for hydrogen systems
  • Use mandatory and non-mandatory appendices for specific design cases and advanced applications

This course is intended for:

  • Graduates or soon-to-be graduates in engineering or technical disciplines
  • Piping engineers, pipeline engineers and mechanical engineers
  • Designers, freelancers and technicians involved in industrial piping systems
  • Professionals working in calculation, design, selection, manufacturing, safety, quality or maintenance
  • Personnel involved in hydrogen systems, industrial process facilities or pipeline repurposing projects

Prerequisite

No previous knowledge of ASME B31.12 or hydrogen piping design is required.

A general technical background in industrial facilities, piping systems, mechanical equipment or process systems will help participants follow the engineering calculations, code references and practical examples covered during the course.

  • Intermediate

The course is based on a self-guided learning methodology with technical content available on demand.

The training combines study notes, summary videos, conceptual questions, practical examples and calculation-based exercises. The methodology follows a “learn by doing” approach, allowing participants to review the technical concepts and apply them progressively to hydrogen piping and pipeline design cases.

Your expert course instructor is a Senior Mechanical Engineer with a focus in management and more than 31 years of experience in the design, calculation and fabrication of piping systems and equipment.
