ME1167 : Pumps, Valves & Piping Systems

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

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Pumps, Valves & Piping Systems. It covers the various types of pumps, basic terminology and common applications; the centrifugal pump principles and operation, positive displacement pumps basics and valve types and functions; the piping system components and safety precautions in pump, valve and piping work; the pump installation procedures, pump troubleshooting techniques and routine and preventive maintenance for pumps; the pump performance monitoring, pump alignment techniques and valve construction and operation; the valve maintenance procedures, valve faults, troubleshooting and control and relief valves; and the actuators and valve automation basics. During this interactive course, participants will learn the piping material selection, piping layout and support and piping installation techniques; the common piping faults and troubleshooting covering leaks and cracks, vibration issues, joint failures, visual and instrumental inspection; the hydrostatic testing, pneumatic testing basics, test documentation and safety precautions during tests; the pre-commissioning inspections, flushing procedures, alignment verification and initial run checks; the energy efficiency in pumping systems and troubleshooting integrated pump-valve-piping systems; and the daily checklists, maintenance logs, fault reporting formats and compliance requirements.
