Piping Design Engineering & Piping Isometrics Masterclass

Descripción

COURSE UPDATE: We are excited to announce that a brand-new section, titled Piping and Mechanical Considerations, has been added to the curriculum. This module perfectly complements your existing materials and bridges the gap between process design and mechanical execution. By the end of this unit, you will have mastered several critical skills. First, you will learn how to interpret Piping Material Specifications and Pipe Class Indices, giving you a clear understanding of how pressure-temperature ratings and flange limitations dictate a system's mechanical integrity. Next, we will clarify the differences between Operating Pressure, Design Pressure, and Maximum Allowable Working Pressure—often referred to as MAWP. You will learn how to apply industry-standard margins to establish the correct design conditions for your equipment. You will also discover how to provide the precise process inputs—such as design pressure, temperature, and corrosion allowance—that piping engineers rely on to calculate wall thickness and select the right materials. Furthermore, we will cover how to determine insulation requirements. You will learn to distinguish between insulation used for heat conservation and insulation required for personnel protection, based on specific height and temperature criteria. We will also dive into critical piping guidelines for rotating equipment. This includes ensuring flooded suction for centrifugal pumps to prevent cavitation, and designing proper suction and discharge valve assemblies. Additionally, you will explore how to optimize the layout of static equipment. You'll learn best practices for orienting distillation column nozzles, manholes, and ladders, while ensuring proper maintenance access for heat exchangers. Finally, you will learn how to design essential auxiliary systems, such as steam tracing for freeze protection, self-draining relief valve headers, and strategically located utility stations. Dive into this new section today to further expand your process engineering toolkit! -- Piping System Drafting Design & Fabrication with Isometrics This 10 hour masterclass is organized into 2 parts : • PART I : PIPING SYSTEMS • PART II : PIPING ISOMETRICS In part I, we will : 1. Break down for you all the piping system design and construction principles into easily digestible concepts like joining technologies, welding methods, pipe expansion handling, calculation of distances between piping supports and dimensioning of pipe guides and anchors… 2. Illustrate using 3D animations and cross-sectional views the main piping components, state their function, their operating limits, their material of construction and their installation procedures such as pipes, flanges, fittings and valves... 3. Provide proven guidelines and best practices for design, construction, installation and maintenance of piping systems in accordance with the codes and standards defined by the ASME & ANSI. The concept of Piping Specifications and Piping Classes will be discussed in exquisite detail with numerous practical examples 4. Show you how to design a piping system from scratch. This valuable and proven piping design method * is actually what we use at our petrochemical plant to design a new piping system or to modify an existing one. * This design method is presented at the end of part I. For this reason, we do highly recommend starting the course from the beginning and navigating through all the sections in the order we have established so that you will be in better position when tackling the design section. In part II, we will make you a Piping Isometric expert and you will know not only how to read, interpret and successfully understand all of those many lines and piping symbols but also you will know how to draw your own piping isometrics. Included in this part, are access to numerous downloadable resources, real industrial examples of Piping Isometrics and the keys to interpret them in high quality video lectures. You will be able to practice and become even more proficient with these bonus items that you will find throughout part II. This valuable masterclass also includes extensive : • graphics • cross-sectional views • sizing tables • numerous practice sessions • 300+ quiz questions • and 3D animations This will give a virtual practical exposure on piping systems, piping isometrics and their accessories. So as you can see here, we cover pretty much everything you need to know about piping systems that will help you successfully draft, design, construct, maintain and operate your own piping system. This will set you apart from your peers, whether you are an operator, engineer, or manager and will give you an edge over your competitors when seeking employment at any industrial facilities. So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of this valuable masterclass and we look forward to seeing you in the first section. Thank you for your interest in our online courses. Hope to see you there! WR Training – Your Partner in Plant Engineering and Reliability Spread the wings of your knowledge
