Pipe Wall Thickness : ASME B 31.1, 31.12, 31.3

Description

Pipe thickness calculations are very important aspects of Piping Engineering. Process piping, Hydrogen Piping, Power plant has different codes which need to be followed while calculating the thicknesses. Also, the High pressure piping has different criteria to calculate the thickness. Moreover, External piping’s thickness calculations are different than the others.

In this course following shall be covered:
