Section-1: QUIZZES: Basics of Piping Engineering (4.25 Hours)

Section-2: Piping Materials & Testing (46.5 hours)

In this sections various ASTM standards have been discussed in detail, starting from basics of metallurgy. Various Lattice structures have been discussed so that the actual usage in industry can be understood. Moreover, chemical & mechanical properties of various types of steels are discussed in length. anyone who goes through these details will be able to understand and implements the facts in live projects. Following sections have been discussed in detail:

2.1 Piping Metallurgy

2.2 Piping Material Standards

2.3 Pipe Inspection, Testing & Marking

2.4 Piping Material Specifications (PMS)

2.6 Valve Components

2.7 Material Requisitions & TBE

Section-2: QUIZZES: PIPING MATERIALS & TESTING (3.3 Hours)

Section-3: Piping Layouts (23.8 Hours)

Piping layout is one of most important section of Piping Engineering, because it is the only department who take inputs from nearly all the disciplines and outputs from layout department is utilized by almost all the other disciplines. Piping Layout department has to produce maximum number of deliverables which can make piping engineer’s life miserable, if not planned well. Following topics have been covered so that after getting practical knowledge same could implemented in live projects.
