Why Choose This Course

The Plant Piping training course establishes a practical, robust foundation for professionals accountable for industrial piping performance, integrity and safe operation. Pipelines provide the highest-capacity and most efficient means of transporting hydrocarbons, requiring accurate engineering, effective design practices and resilient maintenance strategies. Participants learn how correctly designed and properly managed piping systems sustain reliability throughout oil, gas and petrochemical operations.

Participants examine essential engineering principles concerning pipeline design, hydraulic behaviour, material selection, structural integrity and corrosion mechanisms. The course explains how key standards, including ASME B31.3 and API 570, inform decisions, strengthen compliance and promote safe operating practices. Topics are supported by actual case discussions and worked examples reflecting practical design, inspection and maintenance requirements.

Throughout the course, delegates develop practical understanding of deterioration mechanisms, failure modes and inspection techniques applied within modern processing facilities. Workshops encourage active learning by recreating common industrial challenges. These activities help participants assess pipeline condition, interpret technical data and contribute effectively to piping system improvements, repairs and modifications.

Course Goals

What are the Goals?

This Plant Piping Training Course is designed to enhance participants’ technical knowledge of pipeline design, operating behaviour, and maintenance methods, while developing their capability to assess integrity and avoid failures. The course provides a systematic method for evaluating pipeline performance and using the key codes and standards that regulate piping systems.

Upon completion of this training course, participants will be able to:

Explain the fundamental principles of pipeline design and how they are applied in industrial facilities.
Assess structural integrity factors associated with operation, pressure, and environmental impacts.
Recognise corrosion mechanisms and identify common structural and material-related modes of failure.
Explain the key maintenance and inspection practices relevant to process piping.
Use ASME and API code requirements in operational and maintenance activities.
Apply established industry guidelines to promote safe and efficient pipeline performance.

Inspection and Codes

The Plant Piping training course begins with piping fundamentals, applicable codes and standards, and the principal characteristics of pipes, fittings, flanges, gaskets and valves. It considers material selection, pipe dimensions, schedules and specifications before progressing to the interpretation of piping drawings, symbols and documentation. The agenda then addresses plant layout and piping arrangement, including equipment connections, routing considerations, accessibility and the practical requirements that influence the configuration of process piping systems.

The course subsequently examines fluid-flow considerations, pipe sizing, pressure losses and the relationship between piping systems and pumps. Attention then moves to mechanical design, flexibility and stress considerations, thermal expansion, pipe supports and methods of accommodating piping movement. The concluding topics cover fabrication and joining, inspection and testing, corrosion and common causes of piping deterioration, followed by maintenance considerations and the assessment of piping condition to support the continued integrity of plant piping systems.
