Course description
Design and Operation of Piping Systems
This course explains why it is necessary to pay attention to piping systems at all stages throughout their life to prevent loss of containment and maintain a licence to operate.
The course covers the main topics relating to design and safe operation of piping systems which include:
- Code compliance
- Layout
- Routing
- Flexibility analysis
- Supporting
- Testing
- Commissioning
Topics are covered by discussion, case studies of real incidents and syndicate exercises. It is expected that participants of this course will have gained some knowledge of the subject, either by experience or by attendance on the appropriate courses.
This course will identify the principles and methods of piping design together with the considerations to be taken into account for layout and routing, testing, commissioning and safe operation of piping systems. You will gain an increased understanding of the causes of piping failures and how to resolve the problems that can occur.
Upcoming start dates
