Learning Outcomes

    • The course gives insight of piping design, fabrication installation and testing of new process piping according to ASME B 31.3. The course further dwells upon the concepts of Fitness for Service. 
    • A Fitness for Service assessment shows whether damaged or aged components critically affect the present fitness of a piping system for a safe use. And if it is safe, it provides an estimate of how long it is likely to stay safe.
