By the end of this course, delegates will be able to learn about:

• A background and ANSI / ASME / API code guidance on design
• Selection of materials, fabrication
• Testing and practical methods and trends in piping design and construction
• The physical phenomena which affect the design of piping systems
• The ASME Code formulas and other methods by which these phenomena can be analyzed to determine resulting stresses
• Evaluation of those stresses relative to ASME Code limitations
• The methods by which piping systems are fabricated, inspected and tested
• The additional requirements which need to be in a fabrication/ installation specification to en sure adequate and proper installation
