ASME’s Detailed Engineering and Layout of Piping Systems

Traditionally there has been little formal training in the area of piping systems and layout of piping systems. For this reason design decisions have to be made based on practical considerations without formulae or code reinforcement. Completing piping arrangements take up the majority of hours in the design of a process plant and the designer is required to apply acceptable layout procedures. For this reason, this course will familiarize engineers, designers and construction personnel with layout, design procedures and practices involved in the location of equipment and layout of and piping systems. This includes pipe sizing, pressure drop calculations, pump and equipment sizing and selection, preparation of equipment specifications and drawings, piping specifications, instrumentation and process control as well as piping component familiarization including valves and fittings, piping hangers and supports. This course is for engineering in piping projects and includes the engineering, design, detail and layout of process and utility equipment, piping and instrumentation. It will also introduce engineers, designers and construction personnel to the various procedures involved in the development and engineering of Piping and Instrumentation, Diagrams (P&IDs), Equipment Plot Plans, Piping Arrangements and Fabrication Drawings. This course will deliver the background required to design, engineer and complete piping engineering assignments and to complete a typical equipment layout and piping arrangement.
