ASME B31.4 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons and other Liquids

Introduction

This GLOMACS training course focuses on the ASME B31.4 for Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons and other Liquids. This GLOMACS training course introduces the different parts of the ASME B31.4 Standard .and will cover all topics requirements for safe design, construction, inspection, testing, operation and maintenance of liquid pipeline systems. 

Furthermore, assessing pipeline integrity is an essential part of this Code to ensure the safe transportation of liquids. In addition, the design, materials examination, testing, Construction, Welding, Assembly Corrosion Control and Offshore Liquid Pipeline Systems are handled in detail.

This GLOMACS training course will feature: 

• Scope and applications of ASME B31.4
• The pressures design formula for internal and external stress
• General requirements of materials
• Identify the requirements for the Operation and Maintenance procedures
• Different requirements related to inspection and testing of a pipeline
• Requirements for the offshore pipeline related materials, inspection, testing, Operation and Maintenance procedures
• Internal and external corrosion
• Internal and external Corrosion Control

Objectives

• Identify the design stress from external, internal and calculate the pipe wall thickness and allowances
• General Criteria for Piping Components including branches, flanges, valves, reducers and Closures
• Explain the Materials — General Requirements, acceptance and limitation
• Gain more information about the Construction, Welding, and Assembly of pipelines
• Identify the required inspection and testing of the pipelines
• Receive enough information about the Operation and Maintenance Procedures Affecting the Safety of Liquid Transportation Piping Systems
• Focusing and learning on the internal and external corrosion monitoring, control and cathode protection
• Employing pre and post weld heat treatment and identify the Charpy impact testing
• Explain the Offshore Liquid Pipeline Systems related design construction inspection and testing

Training Methodology

This GLOMACS training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures, videos and interactive worked examples. Each learning point will be re-enforced with practical exercises and ample opportunities for discussion and sharing of experiences. The course instructor may modify the above training methodology before or during the course for technical reasons.
