This course is designed to give the participants a thorough understanding of Process Piping Code,
ASME B 31.3. and its practical use as illustrated with numerous case studies. It offers detailed insight
pertaining to design, manufacture and inspection of the Piping systems typically used in Petroleum
Industries, Refineries, Petrochemical plants etc. The course emphasizes understanding of ‘stated’ and
‘implied’ requirements (i.e. content and intent) of the code
Important code requirements will be explained in a simple, straight forward manner, including the
Description
short-cut methods in designing of Pipes, Pipe fitting and Flanges. The participants would be explained
in detail the mechanics of adopting and applying the code rules for day-to-day use in their
professional work. The course is designed such that no previous background in ASME code is
necessary. How ever, those familiar with the code will find the course immensely useful as regards
understanding the code by “letter and spirit “and gaining a thorough systematic practical insight of the
code
This course fulfills the following objectives:
➢ To familiarize participants with the main concepts, and philosophy of the code.
➢ To know how to read the code, and interpret its stated and implied requirements.
➢ To provide participants step-by step approach to piping design, including the design
optimization techniques.
➢ To introduce participants with various material selection, fabrication, erection and testing of
piping systems.
Objective
➢ To be able to understand the mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions and optional
stipulations given in the code
➢ To know limitations imposed by this code on material for construction, temperature

limitations and other service restrictions on piping systems
➢ When, where and how to conduct NDT of piping and the acceptance Criteria.
➢ How to Conduct and certify the pressure testing.
Ideally suited for Design engineers, Mechanical engineers and Plant engineers, managers with or
without experience in application ASME B 31.3 Code, Inspection people, maintenance engineers and
technicians and people involved in trouble shooting of plant operations. Also, those who are involved
Who should Attend in the design, analysis, and operation of piping systems. Managers, Engineers, supervisors, and plant
operation personnel who work in the Refineries, Petrochemical plants, and other process industries
will find this course immensely useful
