What you'll learn
Identify key piping components and their functions in industrial systems.
Interpret and apply ASME B31.3 and related piping codes to real scenarios.
Assess piping materials and manufacturing methods for quality and use.
Design compliant piping systems with accurate specs and configurations.
Requirements
Basic Engineering Knowledge A general understanding of engineering principles, especially mechanical or industrial disciplines.
Understanding of Industry Terminology Prior exposure to key piping terms and symbols commonly used in construction or plant operations.
Experience in Industrial Settings (optional) Practical exposure to piping systems or equipment in manufacturing, processing, or construction is helpful but not required.
Description
Course Description This immersive online course, grounded in Piping: Foundations by Javier Cardenas, is designed to equip learners with a robust understanding of industrial piping systems through a blend of engineering theory, international standards, and real construction case studies. Whether you're an engineer, technician, or designer, this course offers the tools to confidently design, inspect, and troubleshoot piping systems across industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation.You'll explore the full spectrum of piping components-from valves, flanges, and fittings to gaskets, packing, and bolting systems-and understand their roles in leak prevention, pressure management, and system integrity. The course dives deep into pipe thickness calculation, mitered elbows, branch reinforcement, and welding techniques, comparing seamless vs. welded pipes and their implications for corrosion resistance and material selection.Through real-world construction scenarios, learners will tackle challenges like
iagnosing flange misalignment during plant retrofitsSelecting appropriate materials under ASME B31.3 and ASTM standardsPerforming hydrostatic testing and visual inspection on-siteApplying API, AWS, AWWA, and NFPA codes in field conditionsYou'll also master the interpretation of P&IDs, isometric drawings, and orthographic views, and quality assurance evaluations. Each module is enriched with diagrams, field photos, and step-by-step walkthroughs of real construction decisions-bridging the gap between classroom theory and jobsite execution.By the end of the course, you'll not only understand how to design and specify piping systems, but also how to evaluate their performance and compliance in real-world environments. This is more than a course-it's a launchpad for professionals aiming to lead with confidence in the field of piping engineering.
