Piping & Valves – Design, Operation & Integrity

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of piping and valve systems used across process, oil & gas, petrochemical, power, and industrial facilities. It covers the fundamentals of piping design, material selection, construction practices, operation, protection, inspection, and integrity management. Participants will learn how piping systems are designed to meet process requirements, safety standards, and operating conditions. The course explains different types of pipes, fittings, flanges, valves, supports, and associated components. It introduces piping layouts, pressure and temperature considerations, flow requirements, and basic design principles. Participants will also understand valve selection, operation, installation, maintenance, and common failure mechanisms. The course addresses piping construction, fabrication, welding, testing, commissioning, and inspection practices. Key aspects of corrosion protection, leak prevention, pressure testing, and mechanical integrity are also discussed. It provides practical knowledge of common piping and valve problems and methods for troubleshooting and preventive maintenance. By the end of the course, participants will have a stronger understanding of how to design, construct, operate, protect, inspect, and maintain reliable piping and valve systems.
