Course details
This course will cover basic and advanced topics from Solid Mechanics required to provide a robust understanding of the background theory behind technical requirements of Piping and Pressure Vessel codes and standards. A refresher course on core and advanced topics of Solid mechanics required to understand technical background of Piping and Pressure Vessel codes and standards.
This course provides a comprehensive and advanced understanding of pipe stress analysis principles, equipping engineers with the skills needed to model, analyze, and optimize piping systems under a variety of loading conditions. Participants will explore key concepts such as thermal expansion, pressure stresses, dead weight, support reactions, wind, seismic, and transient loads, while learning how to apply these fundamentals in compliance with industry codes like ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code and ASME B31J Standard. The program emphasizes practical application, bridging theory with hands-on analysis techniques, including how to identify stress concentrations, evaluate system flexibility, and ensure the structural integrity of piping systems. Through case studies, worked examples, and problem-solving exercises, engineers will gain the confidence to perform accurate, efficient, and code-compliant pipe stress analyses across industrial projects.
