ASME B31.3 Process Piping Design Code Training Course

Course Category : Oil & Gas Management

This course focuses on providing participants with a comprehensive practical understanding of the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code, covering design, materials selection, fabrication, inspection, and testing to ensure safe, economical, and code-compliant piping systems.
Duration: 5 Days – Level: Advanced

Introduction

ASME B31.3 is the primary engineering code governing the design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of process piping systems in critical industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, chemical processing, and pharmaceuticals. The code aims to ensure safety, reliability, and economic efficiency for piping systems handling hazardous and critical fluids.
This course provides a structured and practical interpretation of ASME B31.3 requirements, focusing on design criteria, stress considerations, materials, welding, inspection, and hydrostatic and pneumatic testing, as well as nonmetallic piping and special fluid services, enabling participants to confidently apply the code in industrial projects..
