ASME B31 Piping Codes

This course provides a practical understanding of ASME B31 piping codes used for the design, fabrication, construction, inspection, and testing of piping systems. It introduces the purpose, scope, and applications of major ASME B31 code sections used across process, power, and pipeline industries. Participants will learn the key requirements of ASME B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, and related piping codes. The course explains piping design fundamentals, materials, allowable stresses, pressure design, and component selection. It covers requirements related to fabrication, welding, examination, inspection, and testing of piping systems. Participants will understand how code requirements are applied to piping layouts, components, joints, and supports. The course also discusses design conditions, flexibility, thermal expansion, and pressure-temperature considerations. Practical guidance is provided for interpreting code clauses, tables, and requirements during engineering activities. The training helps engineers and professionals understand the relationship between design calculations, construction practices, and code compliance. By the end of the course, participants will be better prepared to apply ASME B31 requirements in real-world piping engineering projects.
