ASME B31.3 PROCESS PIPING CODE
THREE DAY COURSE
Perth & Brisbane | November 2024
Understand how to quickly and easily apply and implement the quality requirements defined in the ASME B31.3 Code
Facilitated by US expert, Jim E. Meyer, this course provides an introduction to the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code. It covers the requirements of B31.3 for design, analysis, materials, fabrication, testing and inspection of process piping systems. It explores the rules for various components including fittings, connections, bends, valves and specialty components.
Other topics include dimensions and ratings of components, fluid service requirements for joints, piping flexibility and support, welding, heat treatment, bending and forming, brazing and soldering, assembly, erection, examination and inspection.
