Understanding & Application of ASME B 31.3

Understanding & Application of ASME B31.3 provides a practical understanding of the requirements and application of the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code. The course introduces participants to the purpose, scope, and structure of the code and explains how its requirements are applied in engineering projects. It covers piping materials, design conditions, pressure design, and allowable stresses. Participants learn about flexibility, thermal expansion, sustained loads, and occasional loads in piping systems. The course explains component selection, fittings, flanges, valves, and piping joints in accordance with code requirements. It also covers fabrication, welding, examination, inspection, and testing requirements. Participants gain an understanding of design considerations for process piping systems used in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, and power. Practical examples help learners interpret code requirements and apply them to engineering situations. The course also discusses documentation, compliance, and common piping design considerations. By the end of the course, participants can better understand and apply ASME B31.3 requirements in process piping engineering activities.
