San Diego courses on piping systems layout, seismic design and more

Piping systems layout and seismic design and retrofit of equipment and piping will be two of the topics to be examined during ASME short courses given in San Diego during March.
ASME's Continuing Education Institute will offer five short courses from March 4-8 at the Hilton Mission Valley in San Diego.

"The Layout of Piping Systems and Process Equipment," on March 4 and 5, is a new ASME Continuing Education Institute offering. The class will acquaint you with all aspects of piping systems, including layout, design procedures and the practices involved in the location of equipment and layout of piping systems, as well as the procedures involved in the layout and piping up of a typical process unit containing pumps, exchangers, horizontal drums and vertical towers. Registration is $715 for ASME members, $815 for nonmembers. This is a PVP Certificate Program course.

From March 4-7, the course "Seismic Design and Retrofit of Equipment and Piping" will help you understand in detail the code requirements for the seismic design or retrofit of critical plant and facility systems and equipment. The class will also enable you to evaluate plant piping and equipment to ensure that those requirements are met, and provide you with practical methods to resolve items that do not meet requirements. Registration is $1,395 for members, $1,495 for nonmembers. This is a PVP Certificate Program course.

Through case histories, the short course "The Bolted Joint" will give you the basics to this important element of many products, systems and structures. The class, on March 4 and 5, will teach you the fundamental applications of bolted joints and inform you of the latest developments in analysis, assembly practice and failure prevention. Registration is $895 for members, $995 for nonmembers. This is a Design Certificate Program course.

"Design of Bolted Flange Joints," on March 6, will give you an understanding of the design and behavior of bolted flange joints and provide you with information on recent developments from the Pressure Vessel Research Council on gasketed flange joints. Registration is $475 for members, $575 for nonmembers. This is a Design Certificate Program course.

"Fundamentals of Fastening Systems," on March 7 and 8, concentrates on the practical aspects of fastener selection. This basic introductory course will help you understand the proper application of fasteners and show you the many choices available to the designer. Registration is $665 for members, $765 for nonmembers. This is a Design Certificate Program course.

You can receive continuing education units for each ASME short course you complete. To find out more about ASME Continuing Education Institute courses, visit ASME.ORG, www.asme.org/education; or contact ASME Information Central, (800) 843-2763 or (973) 882-1167, e-mail: infocentral@asme.org.
