About the Course

Learning Outcomes
Participants who successfully complete this course will be able to:
  1. recall the local Safety Code Act laws, pressure equipment safety regulations (PESR), and jurisdiction (ABSA) rules related codes and standards for new construction or in-service repair of ASME B31.3 piping;
  2. efficiently navigate the ASME B31.3 code;
  3. identify the major differences between ASME B31.3 and B31.1 fabrication rules;
  4. review listed ASTM specifications referenced in ASME B31.3  and related and material test reports (MTRs), including multiple marking, to ensure they are acceptable for the material ordered;
  5. investigate, analyze, interpret, articulate, and apply the welding fabrication rules of ASME B31.3 and apply them to when reviewing qualified welding procedure specifications (WPSs) to ensure they are suitable to weld on ASME B31.3 piping;
  6. identify and navigate the basic rules for ASME B31.3 inspection and examination rules; and
  7. recall the basic rules for ASME B31.3 leak testing rules, including closure welds.
