Why Select this Training Course?

Piping Design Engineering refers to the design, planning, and execution of piping systems for various industrial applications. It is a narrow branch of engineering science that deals with the piping scheme design of complex inner systems. Such systems include transporting fluids in industrial facilities of different specifications, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, pharmaceutical companies, and power plants.

The Rcademy Specialist in Piping Design training course explores the fundamentals of piping system design and layout that can help participants to expand their existing knowledge base. The program provides a broad knowledge of pipe elements, including pipe components, international standards, materials, the design approach during the whole span of a piping project, and related terms. The program explains practical work-related issues and many elements encountered in the real world.

What are the responsibilities of a piping designer?

A piping designer in the energy industry is responsible for designing complicated piping systems based on engineering principles and safety regulations. They also collaborate with other engineers and experts to establish the piping system’s specifications and prerequisites. A big part of the job also involves using CAD software to create the detailed drawings and schematics you need.

Other responsibilities include performing a stress analysis to increase the piping system’s reliability and safety and constantly reviewing and updating the existing piping layouts to improve efficiency or accommodate new equipment. Another critical responsibility of the piping designer includes collaboration with the procurement stakeholders to identify the materials required for the piping system.

What is the difference between a computer-aided design (CAD) engineer and a design engineer?

Design Engineers are involved in the detailed design and engineering of systems and structures. On the other hand, CAD technicians are mainly involved in converting general sketches and drawings into more formal and structured forms.

Who Should Attend?

The Rcademy Specialist in Piping Design Course is ideal for:

  • Piping Design Engineers, who focus on creating detailed plans for piping systems.
  • Piping layout designers responsible for the spatial arrangement of piping components.
  • Mechanical engineers specialising in the design and operation of mechanical systems.
  • Project engineers overseeing the planning and execution of piping projects.
  • Piping supervisors managing the installation and maintenance of piping systems on-site.
  • Piping draftsmen tasked with creating technical drawings and schematics for piping layouts.
  • Engineering analysts using analytical tools to optimise piping designs and performance.
  • Technicians providing technical support for the installation and troubleshooting of piping systems.
  • Piping fabricators manufacturing piping components according to design specifications.
  • Process engineers ensuring the efficiency and safety of piping systems within industrial processes.
  • Designers in piping engineering contributing to the conceptualisation and development of piping solutions.
  • Operation managers in the oil and gas industry overseeing the operational aspects of piping systems to ensure smooth and reliable performance.

What are the Course Objectives?

After successfully completing the Rcademy Specialist in Piping Design course, participants will be able to:

  • Execute piping work tasks encompassing layout, design, and installation.
  • Acquire proficiency in designing piping systems adhering to the ASME standard.
