Module Description
This module provides a deep dive into the relationship between pressure, temperature, and pipe wall strength, equipping students with the skills to make rapid and accurate design decisions. Through hands-on case studies, students will develop and apply P/SW curves, gaining insight into their role in determining system design parameters without relying solely on wall thickness calculations. The course also covers flange rating considerations and explores the mathematical relationships between pipe wall thickness and thermally induced forces, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of stress distribution. By the end of this module, students will be able to efficiently determine design pressure and temperature for complex process conditions, enhancing both precision and efficiency in piping system analysis.
Learning Objectives
After completion of this course, the student will earn One (1) PE/PDH Credit towards being a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
When the student completes Module Two, Design Pressure and Temperature, the student will be able to:
- Develop an actual P/SW curve for 4 typical materials.
- Apply the P/SW curve to 10 process conditions for a single system and immediately
determine the design pressure and temperature without the need for wall thickness
calculations. - Mathematically relate a single pipe wall thickness to thermally induced pipe forces.
-
Determine design pressure and temperature from both pipe wall calculations and P/SW
curves from 2 examples of a process piping system with multiple conditions.
