RE: Post graduate Diploma in Piping Design and Eng g(saturdays and sundays

prashant
course is silent about the asme code (its understanding), piping cont'n mgt and piping dynamics (among other things cavitation, noise, vibration and pulsations). No offering for welding, basic nde and pipe fittng as part of practicum.

for the money someone is paying, its a pretty good course. Just for comparison, The Center for Professional Advancement based in Amsterdam, a 3-day course will cost you $1470 for Piping Design, analysis and fabrication. The ASME cep will cost almost the same. hope this will eventually lead to development of more piping professionals (and more subscriber to paul). good luck and more power.

Post Graduate Diploma in

PIPING DESIGN AND ENGINEERING STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE Total Contact hours of 430 are distributed evenly for lectures and tutorials and /or Practicals. The lectures would cover the following subjects: -

Fluid flow, Pipe stress analysis, Corrosion science and material selection, Field instrumentation, Safety regulation, System design and engineering for various system (such as steam and condensate, compressors, distillation columns, control valves, flare stacks, fire fighting, petroleum product and LPG, jacketed / traced lines, lined/polymeric piping, yard piping and cross country piping), insulation fabrication and testing and costing. Tutorials and / or Practicals would cover calculation of pressure drops in single phase and two phase flows, pipeline sizing, material selection, pipe stress analysis, preparation of Piping and Instrumentation diagrams (P & IDS), piping layout and isometrics, material takeoff.

New subjects for the next batch(10th) strting from September 2002:

Natural Gas / LNG/ LPG/CNG Piping systems, Hygienic/Pharmaceutical piping, Pressure plastic piping

Practicals: Layout Engineering (Drawing Sheets) Received on Sat May 11 02:17:00 2002
