This foundational microcredential introduces the engineering principles and code requirements essential for the design of piping systems and transmission pipelines. Focused on ASME’s most current standards, the course addresses piping used in power generation (ASME B31.1) and processing industries (ASME B31.3), as well as pipeline systems transporting liquids and slurries (ASME B31.4) and gases (ASME B31.8). Nuclear safety-class piping systems (ASME B&PVC, Section III) are not included.
Learners will gain a working knowledge of the 2022 editions of these key ASME codes, with a focus on code intent, design rules, and the practical application of engineering judgment.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
Develop the design methods and criteria for the qualification of power and process piping systems, and transmission pipelines in accordance with the ASME B31 Codes.
Develop the loads that apply to the design of piping systems and pipelines.
Calculate the minimum wall thickness for internal pressure using the various ASME B31 Codes.
Evaluate the longitudinal stresses in piping and pipelines, given the applicable loads and the piping system design input.
Assess the options available for design by finite element analysis, and their practical usefulness.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for mechanical, piping, and pipeline engineers; project engineers; and other technical professionals working in the power, oil & gas, petrochemical, and process industries who need to understand and apply ASME piping and pipeline codes in design and project execution.
Course Materials (included in purchase of course)
Digital course notes via ASME’s Learning Hub
Supplemental Course Materials (not included with course, purchase separately)
It is recommended that the learner has access to the following Codes:
ASME B31.1 Power Piping
ASME B31.3 Process Piping
ASME B31.4 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries
ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to registrants who successfully complete the course by achieving a passing score of 75% or higher on the final exam.
