Petroleum Engineering: Liquid Process Piping - Introduction and Design Strategy

Duration: 1hr

Liquid process piping systems are used in many different industries to convey liquids to, from and between pumping, storage and treatment units. Proper design and construction of liquid process piping is necessary to ensure the integrity of a piping system during its service lifetime.

This 1-hour interactive online course is an introduction to the design strategy of liquid process piping including piping design analysis, specifications, drawings, bases of design, loading conditions, and piping layout. Familiarity with the standards and recommendations for design of pressure piping will prepare the designer to make informed decisions throughout the design process.

At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

• Recognize the various aspects of liquid process piping design strategy such as specifications, drawings, bases of design and piping layout.
• Discuss the specific factors that may lead to process piping damage such as soil and environmental conditions, operational and natural phenomena, and corrosion.
• Explain the difference between sustained loads and occasional loads and how they effect process piping systems.
• Describe the aspects of piping layout design.
