Course overview
Piping Design to AS 4041 & ASME B31.3 is a practical and interactive course providing engineers with a structured introduction to piping stress analysis, flexibility analysis and code compliance.
The course explains the intent and application of both AS 4041 and ASME B31.3 and demonstrates how piping systems are assessed for pressure, thermal expansion, support loads, fatigue and operational loading conditions. Delegates learn how to perform common piping design calculations manually and how to critically review the results obtained from computer-based stress analysis software.
Practical engineering concepts are reinforced through worked examples covering pipe wall thickness calculations, support design, flexibility analysis, equipment nozzle loads and piping code compliance.
The course is intended for engineers who require a practical understanding of piping design and stress analysis and those wishing to develop skills in the application of AS 4041 and ASME B31.3.
Delegate pre-requisites
Delegates should be degree or diploma qualified in a relevant engineering discipline and have some prior exposure to piping systems. Previous attendance at KASA’s Liquid Piping Systems Fundamentals course is advantageous but not essential.
