What you'll learn

Apply ASME B31.3-2022 from scope and fluid category selection through materials, pressure design, flexibility, fabrication, and pressure testing
Calculate minimum pipe wall thickness using the Clause 304.1.2 equation - then select the correct pipe schedule accounting for mill tolerance and corrosion
Read ASME B16.5 pressure-temperature rating tables and determine the correct flange class for any design condition
Perform branch reinforcement calculations using the Clause 304.3 area replacement method and select integrally reinforced fittings where appropriate
Determine allowable stresses from Appendix A, select materials for normal, low-temperature, and corrosive service, and establish the MDMT.
Assess piping flexibility using the Clause 319.4 displacement stress range equation, the L/U simplified check, and expansion loop sizing principles
Specify examination Requirements by fluid category (Category D through Category M/HP) and apply the correct NDE methods under B31.3 Chapter VI
Tackle API 570 and PE exam B31.3 questions using worked scenario practice, model answers, and the open-book clause navigation reference card
Requirements
Familiarity with process plant operations (oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical) is useful but not required to follow the content
No prior ASME B31.3 or piping code knowledge is assumed - first principles of code structure and terminology are established in Section 1 before any advanced content
Access to a copy of ASME B31.3-2022 is recommended for exam candidates and is required to answer the worked scenario questions in Section 8 under open-book conditions
Description
ASME B31.3 is the code that governs process piping design across oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical plants worldwide. Every wall thickness calculation, every flange rating decision, every pressure test, and every weld examination in process piping comes back to this standard. This course teaches you to use it - not just to know it.What You Will Learn• Navigate ASME B31.3-2022 confidently - scope, fluid categories, key definitions, and the relationship to ASME B31.1, B31.4, and B31.8• Perform pipe wall thickness calculations using the Clause 304.1.2 equation and select the correct pipe schedule - the most tested B31.3 topic in both the API 570 and PE exams• Read ASME B16.5 pressure-temperature rating tables and determine the correct flange class for any design condition• Select materials from Appendix A, determine allowable stresses, establish minimum design metal temperature (MDMT), and specify impact testing Requirements• Calculate branch reinforcement using the Clause 304.3 area replacement method - and know when integrally reinforced fittings are a better solution• Assess piping flexibility using the Clause 319.4 displacement stress range equation, apply the simplified L/U criterion, and size expansion loops• Specify examination Requirements by fluid category - from Category D visual-only through Category M and High-Pressure 100% examination - and select the correct NDE method• Calculate hydrostatic and pneumatic test pressures, manage test documentation, and understand the full B31.3 pressure testing sequence• Apply pipe support Requirements under Clause 321 and use the support span calculation to avoid excessive deflection and overstress• Tackle API 570 and PE exam B31.3 questions using three fully worked exam scenarios with model answers and examiner commentaryWho this course is for• Piping engineers and process engineers who design or specify process piping and want a rigorous, code-level understanding of B31.3• Graduate engineers joining process, oil and gas, chemical, or pharmaceutical projects who need B31.3 from first principles• API 570 Piping Inspector candidates for whom B31.3 accounts for 30-40% of the exam body of knowledge• PE (Professional Engineer) exam candidates in mechanical or chemical engineering with B31.3 calculation questions on the exam• Inspection engineers, integrity engineers, and project engineers who review piping design calculations, pipe classes, and test packagesCourse Structure8 core sections covering the complete B31.3 code framework - from foundations to exam preparation - plus one post-launch expansion module on corrosion and fitness-for-service:• Section 1: Foundations - Piping Codes & the B31.3 Framework• Section 2: Materials - Selection, Allowable Stress & Temperature Limits• Section 3: Pressure Design - Pipe Wall Thickness & Component Ratings• Section 4: Flexibility Analysis - Thermal Expansion & Stress Compliance• Section 5: Piping Components - Valves, Fittings & Joints• Section 6: Fabrication, Examination & Testing• Section 7: Pipe Supports, Layout & Engineering Judgement• Section 8: Exam Preparation - API 570, PE Exam & Scenario Practice• Expansion Module 9: Corrosion, Fitness-for-Service & API 579 Introduction (released post-launch)able Resources Included• Wall Thickness & Branch Reinforcement Calculator (Excel) - pre-built Clause 304.1.2 and Clause 304.3 calculator with the Section 3 worked example pre-loaded• Pipe Schedule & P-T Rating Quick Reference (PDF) - ASME B16.5 ratings (Class 150-2500) and ASME B36.10 pipe dimensions for NPS ½ to 24 on a single A3 sheet• B31.3 Clause Navigation Card (PDF) - one-page visual map of all key chapters and clauses, colour-coded for open-book use in API 570 and PE exams• Flexibility Quick Reference Card (PDF) - displacement stress range equation, SIF values for common components, and the L/U simplified check on a single page• Exam Scenario Practice Pack (PDF) - three full exam-style scenarios with model answers and clause references, aligned to API 570 and PE exam format• FFS Calculation Template (Excel) - remaining life and API 579 Level 1 general metal loss assessment template, released with Module 9Requirements• Engineering degree or equivalent technical background - this is a professional engineering course, not an introductory overview of piping• Familiarity with process plant operations (oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals) is useful but not required• Access to a copy of ASME B31.3-2022 is recommended for the worked examples and exam sections - it is not required to follow the course content
Piping engineers and process engineers who design, review, or specify process piping systems to ASME B31.3,Graduate engineers entering process, oil, gas, chemical, or pharmaceutical industries who need a rigorous foundation in B31.3,Inspection engineers and API 570 Piping Inspector candidates who need to understand the design code behind in-service inspection,PE (Professional Engineer) exam candidates in the mechanical or chemical discipline with B31.3 calculation questions on the exam,Engineering managers, project engineers, and technical reviewers who approve piping design calculations and specifications
