Pipe Fabrication & Pipe Fitting Training Course

Course Overview

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the role of pipe fabrication and fitting in project quality, safety, schedule, and cost on Day 1.
• Identify piping materials and components, including pipe sizes and schedules, fittings, flanges, gaskets, bolting, valves, and branch connections.
• Interpret P&IDs, piping isometrics, spool drawings, weld maps, and bills of materials.
• Use measuring, layout, and alignment tools correctly and accurately.
• Perform fabrication calculations, including take-offs, center-to-end dimensions, simple and rolling offsets, and branch and lateral layouts.
• Apply cutting and bevelling methods and prepare weld joints in accordance with welding procedure requirements.
• Carry out accurate fit-up, including root gap, alignment, internal misalignment control, and tack welding.
• Fabricate threaded and socket weld joints and assemble piping spools in shop and field conditions.
• Align flanges and assemble bolted joints using correct gasket installation and bolt tightening sequences.
• Apply material identification, traceability, handling, and cleanliness requirements, including for stainless steel and alloy piping.
• Apply fabrication tolerances, dimensional inspection, and coordination with welding, nondestructive examination, and pressure testing.
• Apply safe work practices for cutting, hot work, lifting, rigging, and field installation, and install piping supports correctly by the end of Day 5.
