By completing the Piping Design and Selection training course, you will be able to:
Implement design philosophy and lifecycle approach when developing, evaluating, and refining piping systems used in Oil and Gas processing facilities
Ensure compliance with all aspects of piping design and selection by utilising essential international codes, standards, and industry specifications
Evaluate critical process design inputs to make informed engineering choices and develop compliant piping layouts
Perform pipe sizing and hydraulic calculations, selecting suitable materials, valves, fittings, and special components
Develop, review, and refine line classes and piping specifications to ensure material compatibility and suitability
Conduct piping stress and flexibility analyses, pinpointing load effects and implementing measures to prevent overstress, vibration issues, and equipment overloads
Interpret stress analysis reports, incorporating results into routing revisions, support layout optimisation, and overall system design enhancements
Design and select all major categories of pipe supports, including rigid supports, spring supports, and restraint devices, considering load demands, movement needs, and structural limitations
Apply advanced modelling tools and 3D design software to create and validate piping layouts, detect clashes, and enhance coordination among engineering teams
Follow best practices in testing, inspection, fabrication, and installation to maintain piping integrity during construction, commissioning, and operational phases
