Pipeline Construction and ASME B31 Pressure Piping Standards

Designing and building industrial pipelines requires a deep understanding of safety standards and technical specifications. This course provides a clear pathway into the world of pressure piping and large-scale infrastructure, explaining how global standards govern the transport of fluids and gases. You will transition from having little knowledge of piping standards to understanding how to navigate the ASME B31 series and apply these rules to real-world construction projects. What you'll learn: - Understand the history, evolution, and structure of the ASME B31 Pressure Piping series - Identify specific applications for power, process, and transportation piping codes - Learn the essential phases of cross-country pipeline construction from clearing to commissioning - Apply modern safety and integrity management principles to pipeline design - Explore current industry practices for corrosion protection and material selection - Analyze the layouts and requirements of various code sections for industrial systems The course begins with foundational definitions and the evolution of piping standards before moving into detailed construction workflows and modern maintenance practices. You will read through technical explanations that bridge the gap between theoretical codes and field application. This course is designed for beginners, entry-level engineers, and technicians looking to enter the energy or infrastructure industries; no prior experience with piping codes is required.
