Pipe Stress Analysis Complete Course from PASS

Piping Stress Analysis Basics and Advanced Techniques. For Beginners and for Experienced Pipe Stress Engineers

Ratings: 4.51 / 5.00




Description

This course created by experienced piping stress analysis specialists covers all features of onshore above ground and underground piping and pipeline analysis. The course is based on PASS/START-PROF software applying, though it will be valuable for users of any other pipe stress analysis tools like CAESAR II as it contains a lot of theoretical information.

Who should attend: process, piping and mechanical engineers specialized in design and piping stress analysis for the specified industries:

  • Oil & Gas (Offshore/Onshore)

  • Chemical & Petrochemical

  • Power (Nuclear/ Non-Nuclear)

  • District Heating/Cooling

  • Water treatment

  • Metal industry

Training software: all trainees are provided with a free 30-days PASS/START-PROF license.

Certificate: After finishing the course you will receive the certificate from udemy and also certificate from PASS.

PASS/START-PROF provides comprehensive pipe stress analysis with related sizing calculations according to international and national codes and standards. First introduced in 1965, PASS/START-PROF combines a highly efficient solver, powerful analysis features, very friendly and easy user GUI, an intuitive 3D graphical pre/post-processor, and a detailed help system with embedded intelligence from generations of piping design experts.

Course consists of pre-recorded video lectures, quizzes, examples and handout materials.
