Piping Design & Detail Engineering - Certificate Program

Piping are a major asset in most process plants, and ensuring its functionality and effectiveness is a paramount operation and business requirement. Piping design engineering course for engineers and piping system designers reviews the key areas associated with the design of piping systems for oil and gas & other process facilities. The course is focused on four areas: codes and standards, pipe materials, piping components, and piping layout and design. Applicable piping codes for oil and gas facilities (ISO, B31.3, B31.4, B31.8, etc.), pipe sizing calculations, pipe installation, piping materials specification & selection are an integral part of the course. The emphasis is on proper material selection and specification of piping systems. This piping design training course will give you the international insight of the onshore piping industry to enable you to retain your talent in order to ensure sustainable career growth.   This is essential development for those who need to develop their piping design, construction, analysis and managerial skills further.
