There is a new online course offered through the University of Houston for field engineers, maintenance engineers, piping designers, process engineers, operations managers, operators, anyone working with new construction, or just a new engineer just starting out. This course is great for anyone needing to design a new piping system, changing a current system, surveying a system or just needing to spec out pipe supports.
It’s an overview on piping design and analysis, including factors that effect overall configuration, piping layout, the total system, as well as an introductory into pipe stress analysis (flexibility concerns and other design considerations); and how all those factors ultimately influence pipe support and pipe hanger design.
Here’s the link for more information and to register: http://bit.ly/1aIlbh9
We are also in talks of taking it further into stress analysis, so there’s a possibility of another course in the near future.
