IN PROGRESS ASME B31.1 Power Piping – Design & Fabrication

PEL-372

The objective of the B31.1 piping course is to provide participants with an understanding of the basis of the design requirements for piping and their relationship with the materials, fabrication and examination requirements which are closely related in B31.1. The course will include group discussion on the application of the Code to practical situations in industry. The knowledge gained in attending the CSA B51 course compliments the knowledge gained in the ASME B31.1 course for Canadian practice.

Duration: Delivered over four (4) half-day segments

Course Content

• Introduction to piping design

• Jurisdictional limits

• Review of content of B31.1

• Loadings

• Selection of material, components and joints

• Primary stress protection

– pressure design of components

Course Content

• Layout of piping system

– support location

• Flexibility analysis

– collapse protection

– stress intensification factors

– flexibility factors

• Fatigue

• Interaction of fabrication and examination with design

Who Should Attend?

The B31.1 course is directed toward piping designers and personnel who are required to interact with and to understand the design documents associated with piping either in an industrial settings or in an operational Nuclear Power Plant. Those attending should have a reasonable degree of familiarity with the Code and its application. This course is directed more to the development of personnel who have some experience.

Expectations:

Course participants with adequate experience will have attained the following information at the end of
the course:

  1. An understanding of the concepts used by the B31.1 Code to maintain Pressure Boundary integrity
    and operate in a safe manner under the design conditions.
  2. Working knowledge of the relationship between the design of the piping system, its layout, the
    impact of Code requirements on these elements including techniques that a designer can use to
    meet these requirements.
