H9: ASME B31.3 and B31.1: Process & Power Piping

The two most important American design codes for piping in one seminar. ASME B31.3 (Process Piping) and B31.1 (Power Piping) cover most applications for piping both in the plant engineering industry and in the power plant sector. All relevant aspects of classification and scope, material (ASTM/EN), design calculation, fabrication, testing and inspection are discussed.
Further topics are standard components (e.g. ASME B16.5, B16.9 or B16.34) and their use within the framework of the piping regulations as well as questions on the duties and responsibilities of owners, manufacturers, inspectors and designers.

The seminar language is English.
