Theory & Application of ASME B31J for Pipe Stress Engineers

1. How elementary and advanced topics of Solid mechanics are applied in development of Piping and Pressure vessel codes and standards.

2. Theoretical background behind design code requirements which helps an engineer understand the strengths, weaknesses and applicability of the code requirements.

3. An insight into the newly introduced codes.

4. Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and code requirements.

5. University students who want to take up career in piping engineering or static equipment engineering and wants to learn about the most widely used Industrial standard.

6. Experienced engineers who want to understand the background of code rules and requirements
