Print this page Basic Piping Design, Layout and Stress Analysis for the Construction of Piping Systems
Peter Smith, HNC (Mech)
Course Outline
This is a 2 hour course using the NORSOK Standard L-002 - "Piping Design, Layout and Stress Analysis".
The NORSOK Standards are a set of standards and specifications that have been adopted by numerous major Operators in the Norwegian North Sea sector and other territories. They are based on recognised international industry codes and standards.
Billions of dollars have been spent on piping material specified to these standards.
NORSOK Standards are aimed at the Offshore, Upstream sector of the Oil and Gas industry and L-002 is based on ASME B31.3 design philosophy.
Design and layout of piping systems is subjective and there are numerous options available to the Engineer, however these are recommended practices that are based on past design and operational experience that satisfy the international codes.
Piping Design,
Layout and Stress Analysis is a huge topic and this course is a basic introduction
to the subject. Piping design philosophy will vary slightly from project to
project and it is essential that the Piping Engineer reads the project document
that covers this subject.
This course includes
a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding
of the course materials.
Learning Objective
The objective is to be aware of these basic design recommendations.
The Course will cover:
- Industry Codes and Standards
- Definitions and Abbreviations
- Design Layouts
- Layouts
- Stress Analysis
Intended Audience
Piping Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Project Engineers, Procurement Managers and Project Buyers, QA/QC Personnel, and Inspectors.
Benefit
to Attendees
This is an introduction
to the subject of piping design, layout and stress and covers fundamental recommended
practices. It gives an Engineer the basic outline on the subject.
Course
Introduction
It is essential
that all Piping Engineer are aware of the fundamental recommended practices
for the design, layout and stress analysis of piping systems. These will vary
slightly from project to project.
Course Content
In this course you are required to study Norsok Standard L-002 - "Piping Design, Layout and Stress Analysis".
You need to open or download these documents to study this course.
Course Summary
All Piping Engineers must be aware of the basic principles of piping design,
layout and stress analysis, even if it is not part of their day to day job activities.
There are many generalities that apply to all projects and for special processes
there will be additional requirements
Quiz
Once you finish studying the above course content, you need to take a quiz to obtain the PDH credits.
