 Introduction
Welcome to the KASA Redberg 2011 Seminar Information Kit. We have taken the step of putting all of the information
relating to our public seminars in one document to provide a more convenient way of showing potential clients what
knowledge we can provide them within the area of pumps, pipes, slurry and pressure vessels.

We have been running our flagship courses – “Pump Fundamentals” and “Liquid Piping Systems Fundamentals” for a
number of years now. We have also been running “Advanced Slurry Pumping & Piping” since May 2008. Last year we
announced three new seminars available to our clients:

• Gas Piping Systems Fundamentals

• Piping Design to AS4041 & ASME B31.3
• Pressure Vessel Design to AS1210

These new seminars are a welcome addition for those companies with formal graduate development programs as they
can now provide a clear training path for their engineers who are looking at specialising in pumping systems, piping
systems or pressure vessels.

Whilst our seminars have always been presented in the context of the relevant Australian standards or Australian
industry standard practice, it is important to point out that two of our new seminars relate specifically to the application
of relevant Australian standards and/or ASME codes. We have done this so potential attendees can become well-
versed in commonly used sections of these documents as well as be aware of the common traps which can cause
unknowing misapplication of their content.

Finally, for those who are considering a career (or graduate) development program and need some quick guidance in
the recommended order in which our seminars should be attended, please consider the following examples…

We trust you will find this information kit informative and useful. If however you need more information on any of our
public seminars or would like a detailed proposal on how we can customise a seminar to suit your specific needs, then
please do not hesitate to contact us.

We hope to see you and/or your colleagues at our seminars in 2011.

Best regards,
