UPON REQUEST ASME Section III Div.1 – Subsection NF Code Requirements for Component & Piping Supports

Name: ASME Section III Div.1 – Subsection NF Code Requirements for Component & Piping Supports
Start: 2022-04-16T08:00:00-04:00
End: 2022-07-13T17:00:00-04:00

The objective of this course is to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the requirements in Section III, Div. 1 for supports of the Nuclear Pressure Boundary. The scope of this course will cover more than design since it will cover the full construction of supports (i.e., materials, design, fabrication & examination), intended to conform to the requirements for Classes 1, 2, 3 and MC construction of Section III, Div. 1. It has been developed in combination with the Section III – Overview Course, to assist participants who are required to certify Design Reports to meet the qualification requirements of CSA N285.0 /Section III, Appendix XXIII. The requirements for supports in the CSA Standard, CSA N285.0-95, will be covered so that participants will understand the relationship and application of the ASME Code to nuclear supports as required in Canada. The course will provide ample opportunity to discuss issues raised by the participants.

Duration: Delivered over two(2) full-days or four (4) half-days

Who Should Attend?

This course is directed toward piping designers, component & piping support designers and personnel required to review with and to understand the design documents associated with nuclear supports piping in operational Nuclear Power Stations. It will allow individuals who are required to certify Design Documents as required by the Section III, Division 1, to count this course as part of their experience base in accordance with the requirements in Appendix XXIII of Section III, Division 1.

Expectations:

Course participants with adequate experience will, by the end of the course, have attained the skills to:

Identify the various types of supports found in piping systems.
Compare the differences between the Canadian Standard and the ASME Code.
List the material requirements and any special requirements conflicting with permitted material specifications.
Explain and discuss the general design requirements for the acceptability of support design.
Define the fabrication and installation requirements
Identify the appropriate type of examination to be administered during fabrication.
List the type of records to be supplied with the support.
