    This course provides an introduction to the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code. It covers the requirements of B31.3 for design, analysis, materials, fabrication, testing and inspection of process piping systems. It explores the rules for various components including fittings, connections, bends, valves and specialty components. Other topics include dimensions and ratings of components, fluid service requirements for joints, piping flexibility and support, welding, heat treatment, bending and forming, brazing and soldering, assembly, erection, examination and inspection.

    By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

    • Identify the responsibilities of personnel involved in the design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of process piping
    • Describe the scope and technical requirements of the ASME B31.3 Code
    • Apply and implement the quality requirements that are defined in the ASME B31.3 Code

    Course Materials (included in purchase of course): 

    • Participants will receive access to the following Code/Standard(s) via ASME’s Digital Collection for the duration of the course:
      • ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code
    • Downloadable version of the course presentation via ASME's learning platform

    Special Requirement

    Each student must bring his or her own calculator.
