UPON REQUEST ASME B31.1 Materials, Fabrication, and Examination

PEL-65005

The objective of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the bases of the existing materials, fabrication, and inspection/examination rules of B31.1. The course will review how materials respond to the fabrication processes, particularly welding and examination, and their implementation and control. Slides and videos will be shown to emphasize the discussion points. The course will also provide ample opportunity to discuss issues raised by the participants. An overview of the Canadian requirements for pressure retaining systems will be presented and the fact that B31.1 is a legal requirement in Canada will be discussed.

There will be references, as appropriate, to the design requirements as they relate to these rules. Emphasis will be given to the importance of building the piping systems to the requirements of the B31.1 Code and the design specification.

Duration: Delivered over 4 half-days

Who Should Attend?

This course is directed towards personnel who are designers or engineers responsible for the design of the piping systems in both the fossil and the nuclear power industries. It is also applicable to those persons working on industrial or institutional power piping systems. The course will be useful to the people in the many disciplines that support these industries, construction managers, designers, engineers, fabrication supervisors, inspectors, and maintenance personnel. It is excellent training for persons whose work activity requires knowledge of B31.1 requirements for materials, fabrication, and examination/inspection.

Expectations:

Course participants with adequate experience will have attained the following by the end of the course.

  1. An understanding of the B31.1 Rules concerning materials, fabrication, and inspection/examination.
  2. An understanding of the basis of this rules.
  3. A basic knowledge of how steels react to fabrication processes.
  4. A basic knowledge of how fabrication processes are qualified and controlled.
  5. An understanding of the rules for inspection , examination, and testing.
  6. A basic knowledge of typical nondestructive examination processes.

Lecturer

  • Mr. Jeff Henry
    Mr. Henry’s technical expertise includes materials evaluation, high temperature materials behavior, failure analysis, and support of critical manufacturing activities. These activities have been focused on the production of steam generating equipment for the nuclear and fossil power industries. He is experienced in: the resolution of heavy-vessel manufacturing problems, process management, laboratory research and development projects, and problems related to the operation of critical boiler and turbine components. His experience has been particularly concentrated in the areas of welding, high temperature behavior, diffusion processes, heat treatment, fatigue, and the metallurgy of the Creep Strength-Enhanced Ferritic Steels, such as Grade 91.
