Piping Design and Selection

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
