Fresh or working, chemical or mechanical engineering graduates are normally preferred. Few seats are also given to the instrumentation, production and refinery engineering graduates on proven aptitude basis. Diploma holders are normally not admitted. In exceptional cases, diploma holders with considerable relevant experience (at least 7 Years) are admitted. It is an exposure level course and the participant profile is young. Experienced working engineers from operating companies and design organizations also attend in significant numbers and have found the course a horizon - widening experience.

The vastness of the subject and limited duration of the course do not allow in-depth coverage of each and every topic. The topics which are covered in adequate details are as follows :

• - Scope of Piping Engineering
• - Codes and Standards
• - Piping Elements & Specialties
• - Mechanical Design Fundamentals
• - Pipe Hydraulics & Sizing
• - Piping Drawing Basics
• - Development of Plot Plan
• - Equipment Layout
• - Process Piping Layout
• - Utility Piping Layout
• - Flexibility Analysis
• - Selection of Supports & Expansion Joints

Exposure Level Lectures are delivered on some of the following topics.

• - Steam Engineering
• - Transient Fluid Flow Analysis
• - Cryogenic Storage
• - Dynamic Analysis
• - Process Insulation
• - Instrumentation and Control

Practicals are an important part of the course. The participants are encouraged to develop rational thinking skills through a case study approach.

Exposure to important CAD tools available in Piping Engineering arena is offered.

Multimedia teaching aids are incorporated. This allows display of three dimensional plant models, carrying out computer aided design and engineering in the class room itself, showing video clippings to support a point etc. At the same time, all care is taken to emphasize on teaching rather than on presentation.

Certificate of Participation will be issued to the candidates who have registered and participated in the course.
