What should a 7 years experience piping design engineer must know?
1. Process Piping Design according to ASME B31.3 (what should be the extent of his knowledge?)
2. Same question for ASME B31.1, B31.4, B31.8
What other basics and advanced designing works / issues must be known to him?
What a Piping Design Engineer must know?
Re: What a Piping Design Engineer must know?
A very simple but good question. As far as a must know is concerned following are the lists:
1- Experience in 2D/3D Piping drafting in variety of platforms or just one very popular platform.
2- Knowledge of ASME Codes (All and related) in terms of design, inspection and quality control. Fabrication and Commissioning experiences are an add on.
3- Familiar with Structure design codes (e.g ASCE ASD or LRFD or equivalent).
4- Must know design of piping supports and types as mentioned in MSS-SP-57 and 69.
5- Familiar with Stress analysis outputs and implementations.
6- Familiar with Nozzle loadings on or from piping calculated as per API or other standards.
7- Knowledge of piping materials and usage etc.
8- Must know and understand Piping layout drawings, Piping fittings and sizes, General layouts, Civil and Structure Layouts etc.
9- Must know how isometrics are made and maintained.
At this moment that's what in my mind. As far as ur second question is concerned. Knowledge of related codes depends on your experience and job in a company. They can vary and also they all can be learned together ofcourse if your job requirement said so.
Hope that helps.
