Congratulations on completing ASME Code Week!
Your dedication to intensive learning demonstrates your commitment to engineering excellence and public safety—core values that define the ASME community. This achievement reflects your investment in professional development and your role in upholding the rigorous standards that have made ASME a globally trusted name in engineering for over 140 years.
This badge is awarded to participants who successfully completed an accredited course offered during ASME Boiler Code Week. Earning this badge signifies active engagement in technical learning aligned with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), as well as a demonstrated commitment to advancing safety, quality, and compliance in engineering practice.
Description of Course:
This comprehensive course offers a structured introduction to the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code, the internationally recognized standard governing the safe design, fabrication, assembly, inspection, and testing of process piping systems used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, petroleum, power generation, and hydrogen production
You Learned To:
Explain the scope, structure, and purpose of ASME B31.3 in regulating process piping safety and compliance.
Understand pressure design fundamentals and allowable stress calculations for piping and components under various service conditions.
Select appropriate materials and components, including fittings, valves, and specialty items, based on fluid service categories and code requirements.
Apply fabrication and assembly rules, including welding, heat treatment, forming, brazing, and nonmetallic piping considerations.
Assess piping flexibility and the influence of stress intensification factors to minimize fatigue and ensure structural integrity.
Plan and execute examination, inspection, and testing, including hydrostatic and pneumatic testing, to confirm system conformity.
Handle specialized piping systems, such as high-pressure, high-purity, or category‑M services, with applicable code provisions.
