Why Piping Engineering on EveryEng
The deepest free piping catalog online
Piping engineering is one of the most international and highest-paid paths in plant engineering. Every refinery, LNG train, petrochemical complex, pharmaceutical facility, and power station needs piping engineers who can lay out pipework, select materials, run stress analysis, and defend the design against ASME B31.3 and equivalent international codes.
EveryEng's 150+ piping courses form the deepest free piping catalog online — covering every stage of the engineering pipeline from first P&ID interpretation through constructible 3D models. Whether you are a mechanical graduate entering piping, a layout designer transitioning into stress analysis, or a senior piping engineer preparing for Chartered Engineer CPD, the catalog has a track designed for you.
Courses are taught by practising piping engineers working at EPCs and operators, so every module reflects real project workflows — the same isometrics, ASTM specs, CAESAR II files, and squad-check comments you will see in your first project week.
What You Will Learn
Six pillars of piping engineering competence
From first principles to project-ready deliverables — every skill an EPC piping team expects.
CAESAR II Stress Analysis
Hands-on: geometry input, load cases, support selection, stress interrogation, nozzle load checks, and defensible reports.
ASME B31.3 & B31.1 Codes
Allowable stress, design pressure/temperature, service categories, fabrication and inspection — clause by clause.
Material Selection
ASTM specifications (A106, A312, A335, A333), service compatibility, low-temperature toughness, and PMI programs.
Isometric & GA Drawings
Read and produce isometrics, GA plans, MTOs, support drawings, and stress sketches to EPC deliverable standards.
Piping Components
Valves, flanges, fittings, gaskets, bolting — ASME B16 series mastery and component specification writing.
Curriculum
13 modules — intro through 3D modeling
Work the full track linearly or specialise into a single stream. Every module awards a CPD-accredited certificate.
Introduction to Piping Engineering
Role of piping in plants, discipline interfaces, engineering-deliverable overview, and typical project lifecycle.
P&IDs & Plot Plans
P&ID symbology, line numbering, tie-ins, plot plan rules, and equipment arrangement logic.
Pipe, Fittings & Flanges
Pipe schedules, elbow/tee/reducer selection, ASME B16.5/B16.47 flanges, and gasket/bolting compatibility.
Valves & Specialty Items
Gate, globe, check, ball, butterfly; control valves; relief valves; traps, strainers, and sight glasses.
Material Selection & ASTM
Carbon steel, LTCS, stainless, duplex, nickel alloys; material datasheet reading and service compatibility.
ASME B31.3 Process Piping
Design pressure, thickness calcs, flexibility analysis, fabrication, inspection, and testing — code clauses deep-dive.
ASME B31.1 Power Piping
Power-piping differences from B31.3: service categories, SIFs, testing, and high-temperature considerations.
Pipe Stress Fundamentals
Sustained, expansion, and occasional loads; SIFs; flexibility factors; code equations and manual checks.
CAESAR II — Modeling & Analysis
Geometry, materials, boundary conditions, load cases, and first full run on a typical process line.
Support Design & Nozzle Loads
Rigid supports, spring hangers; WRC 107/297; API 610/617/660 nozzle limits; support schedules and drawings.
Isometric & GA Production
Isometric conventions, GA layout rules, support locations, MTO extraction, and automation via SPOOLGEN.
Fabrication, Welding & QA
WPS/PQR, joint types, NDE sampling by fluid-service category, PWHT, and hydrotest procedures.
3D Modeling — PDMS, E3D, SP3D
Plant 3D modeling workflows, clash detection, isometric extraction, and stress-to-3D model reconciliation.
Accreditation
Recognized by leading piping bodies
EveryEng piping certificates count toward CPD with these institutions.
