Print this page Design Code for Liquid Process Piping, Based on ASME B31 - Part I
Peter Smith, HNC (Mech)
Course Outline
This is a 4-hour course using the US Army Corp of Engineers - Engineering and Design for Liquid Process Piping EM 1110-1 (Chapters 1 to 3).
This code closely follows American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME B31, which is the most commonly internationally used code for the Process industry. It is a huge subject and I have broken the code into three sections - Part I, Part II and Part III.
There are minor differences between the base ASME code and EM1110-1 which is used as the study material for this course and on which the quiz is based.
It is impossible
for a Piping Engineer to try and remember all of the requirements of this code,
but it is essential that the Engineer is familiar with the scope of the code,
content and it's format.
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 for the Engineer to understand the scope of the code and the fundamental requirements
The Course will cover:
- Introduction
- Design Strategy
- General Piping
design
Intended Audience
Piping Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Project Engineers, QA/QC Personnel, Inspectors.
Benefit
to Attendees
An Engineer will
benefit from having the basic knowledge of this code that covers the design
of piping systems construct in metal and non metallic materials.
Course Introduction
It is essential
that all Engineers involved in the design and construction of process piping
systems are familiar with the code that covers "Liquid Process Piping"
and related documents. They must be aware of the scope, format and significant
criteria.
Course

Some of the equations and Greek characters in the above PDF file may not show correctly if Acrobat Reader Version 5.0 or higher is used. Should you encounter this problem, please use Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 or install WPTypographicSymbols fonts as follows:
1. Download a self-extracting zip-archive of TrueType-Fonts at ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/WordPerfect/wpwin/9/wpfonts.exe, run the self-extracting Zip-archive file first, and extract these files to a temporary directory.
2. Launch the Windows Font Utility within the Control Panel to add these fonts to your Operating System (you can directly copy the files over). It may be necessary to uninstall the previous versions of these fonts prior to installing the new versions.
Course
Summary
Engineer involved in the design and construction of Liquid Piping Systems must
be familiar with the contents of the relevant code which has been adopted to
cover the design and construction.
Quiz
Once you finish studying the above course content, you need to take a quiz to obtain the PDH credits.
