COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of P&IDs, Pipe Sizing, Piping Layouts and Isometrics. It covers the purpose and importance of P&IDs and process flow diagrams in process engineering; creating P&IDs, identifying process and utility streams and selecting equipment and instrumentation; reviewing and verifying P&IDs for accuracy; the pipe sizing fundamentals and calculating pressure drop using various methods; the piping layout principles, different types of piping systems, equipment and piping arrangement considerations; the safety factors and regulatory requirements; and the efficient piping layout and routing and spacing of process and utility lines, pipe supports, expansion loops and stress analysis. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the clash detection and resolution in complex piping layouts including optimization techniques for minimizing pipe lengths and pressure drops; the isometric drawings, isometric symbols, annotations and dimensioning; the computer-aided design (CAD) software for isometric generation; customizing isometric drawings based on project requirements; and adding annotations, bill of materials and other details to isometrics. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the piping material specifications and standards; selecting appropriate materials based on process conditions and fluid properties; the material compatibility, corrosion resistance and temperature limitations; the welding procedures and inspection requirements; complying with industry codes and regulations in piping design; the piping documentation packages for construction and fabrication; the piping construction sequencing and project scheduling; coordinating with other engineering disciplines; and the quality control and quality assurance in piping design.
