Industrial Piping Engineering is a science and a specialized discipline of Mechanical Engineering that is seldom covered in any University curriculum. The science behind piping engineering is extremely important for the reliability of the plant and the safety of the process, personnel, and public. In a typical Chemical or Process Plant, the material cost of piping is around 35% of the initial fixed cost next to the material cost of major equipment (~50%). The field labour cost against the piping goes around 50%. Piping consumes around 50% of engineering man-hours for its design. The importance of piping is far beyond these values. The piping system consists of several piping components. The failure of any one of these components has the potential to shut down the whole plant and, in some cases, it becomes a serious threat to public safety which demands 100% accuracy both in design and erection. With this aim, the course content is meticulously designed to cater to the needs of the Process, Oil & Gas, and Chemical Industries. In a nutshell, the course covers the hydraulics of piping systems subjected to both single and two-phase gas & liquid flows, pipe design, flange types & class, valve types & class, pipe stress analysis, pipe supports, cross-country onshore pipeline construction, and ASME B31.1-Power Piping, ASME B31.3-Process Piping.

What's inside

Four courses

Single-Phase Pipe Hydraulics and Pipe Sizing

This course, "Single-Phase Pipe Hydraulics & Pipe Sizing," aims to predict the optimal pipe diameter for single-phase fluid flow in piping systems. It covers essential concepts, mathematical expressions, and the importance of each term in governing equations.

Two-Phase Pipe Hydraulics and Pipe Sizing

This course, "Two-Phase Pipe Hydraulics & Pipe Sizing," aims to predict pressure drop in piping systems with concurrent gas and liquid flow. Pressure drops and heat transfer coefficients depend on flow regimes, so understanding their formation in horizontal and vertical pipes is crucial. Bends in piping systems can influence flow regime formation, and the course explores the impact of bends on both upstream and downstream pipelines.

Pipe Material Specification

This course, "Pipe Material Specification," focuses on piping system design. It covers pipe manufacturing techniques, pipe ends, pipe materials, and ASME B31 pressure piping series. Designers will learn to determine pipe wall thickness for internal and external pressure based on ASME B31.3 code and select the proper schedule number from ASME B36.10M and B36.19M standards.

ASME B31 Series and Pipeline Construction

This course, "ASME B31 Series and Pipeline Construction," covers the ASME B31 code sections for power, process, and transportation piping systems, as well as the activities involved in standard cross-country pipeline construction.

Learning objectives

  • Learners can predict optimum pipe diameter for a given service(s) & its operating conditions for both single-phase and two-phase liquid flow to meet pressure drop constraints.
  • Learners can determine the pipe wall thickness for a given process condition, select the appropriate schedule number, and develop the pipe material specification sheet.
  • Learners can perform the flexibility analysis and recommend the optimum pipe routing with proper pipe supports and hangers.
