Course Description

Every industrial plant has numerous piping systems that must function reliably and safely. Since pipe is not rotating equipment, a major pressure vessel, or some exotic equipment: piping systems are often easy to ignore or take lightly. However, industry around the world continuously experiences pipe failures, sometimes with catastrophic results. Plant personnel deserve piping systems that operate safely, and plant owners need piping systems that are reliable.

This course introduces the non-piping engineer, to the fundamental considerations, the evaluation criteria and the primary solutions in the design of piping systems. The types of common failure modes are described, with the general approaches to determining if a piping system design is adequate for operation. Pipe support types are described, and their normal applications. This is not a pipe stress analysis course, but is much broader in context and only briefly introduces pipe stress analysis.

This course is intended for those who interface with piping design, maintenance and operation, and those who may be starting to work in piping engineering. This introductory course is the first in the following planned Piping Engineering curriculum:
• Visual Condition Assessment of An Existing Piping System
• Evaluating Pipe Stress Analysis Results
• Inspecting An Existing Piping System

Good review. Is there a discrepancy between the longitudinal pipe pressure stress formula given in section 4.1 and the formula contained within figure 4.1?

Definately an "intoduction". Broad but reasonable.
