This continuing education course is written specifically for professional engineers with the objective of relating to and enhancing the practice of engineering.
Course Description
Industrial piping systems must often operate for decades with little or no maintenance and inspection. Since the design team rarely evaluates their installation years after commissioning, poor design practices seem to live on and on because the design team never knows the problems that develop. This course fills that feedback loop with recommendations that avoid problems and are likely to work well for decades.
Part of the design process relies on the pipe stress analysis to calculate pipe stress, support loads and pipe movements. The performance of the installed pipe is often quite different than the analysis calculates. These differences are often avoidable if you know what you are looking for and use proper procedures.
This course is a practical guide to avoid pipe support selection errors, and to quickly recognize if there any errors, or “hidden errors” in the pipe stress analysis results. Recommendations were learned by the author through field observations and analysis. The knowledge from this work will help anyone involved with designing and maintaining piping systems recognize and avoid potential pipe failures.
