Course Introduction:

Taking a big-picture approach, Piping and Pipeline Engineering: Design, Construction,

Maintenance, Integrity, and Repair elucidates the fundamental steps to any successful piping

and pipeline engineering project, whether it is routine maintenance or a new multi-million dollar

project. These course will explores the qualitative details, calculations, and techniques that are

essential in supporting competent decisions, pairs coverage of real world practice with the

underlying technical principles in materials, design, construction, inspection, testing, and

maintenance.

Discover the seven essential principles that will help establish a balance between production,

cost, safety, and integrity of piping systems and pipelines.

This course includes coverage of codes and standards, design analysis, welding and inspection,

corrosion mechanisms, fitness-for-service and failure analysis, and an overview of valve selection

and application. It features the technical basis of piping and pipeline code design rules for

normal operating conditions and occasional loads and addresses the fundamental principles of

materials, design, fabrication, testing and corrosion, and their effect on system integrity.

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

Gain knowledge more expanded in piping and pipeline

Understand parameters which is determining of design

Carryout material selection

Understand the fabrication ways of components and testing

Handle critical problems related to piping and pipeline

Highlights the seven fundamental areas of competent piping and pipeline engineering,

presented in the format of a checklist

Address mechanical design and integrity, from common operating conditions to

extreme loading

Discuss corrosion and degradation mechanisms and how to diagnose the causes and

effects of corrosion in service

Apply maintenance and in-service inspection practices and techniques, including an

introduction to failure analysis

Discuss the coverage of unique aspects of plastic pipe and fittings, valve selection, and

sizing
