Online Course – Certified Professional Internship in Industrial Piping Systems Design by Google, L&T EduTech

Industrial Piping Engineering

Industrial piping engineering is a mechanical engineering discipline that is critical to the reliability of the plant and the safety of processes, employees, and the public.

The importance of plumbing

• The cost of piping materials constitutes approximately 35% of the initial fixed cost.
• The cost of field work for the piping is about 50%.
• Piping consumes about 50% of engineering work hours for its design.

Failure of one of the piping components could result in the shutdown of the entire plant and a threat to public safety, which requires precision in design and construction.

Course content

• Hydraulics of piping systems under gas and liquid flows.
• Piping design.
• Types and grades of plates.
• Types and grades of valves.
• Stress analysis in pipelines.
• Pipe supports.
• Cross-country pipeline construction.
• ASME B31.1-C, ASME B31.3-Process Piping.

Hands-on Learning Project

The project is designed based on a practical problem, in which learners can:

• Design the piping system in accordance with global codes.
• Perform stress analysis in piping using stress analysis software.
• Analyze the tensions caused.
• Change the piping directions along with the supports.
• Prepare a specification sheet for the piping materials.
• Develop identification of piping numbers.
• Predict the overall static pressure drop in optimal piping directions.
