CSA Z662:23 Pipeline Systems - Design

See other online training related to CSA Z662:23

Course Overview

This course is included in CSA Z662:23 Pipeline Systems – Essentials training.

Understanding the philosophy of CSA Z662 is critical for all those involved in pipeline systems within Canada. This is important because CSA Z662 considers design throughout the full life cycle of the pipeline. This is unlike similar pipeline codes that purely focus on the design and construction and omit other aspects such as operations and maintenance. Throughout this self-paced training you learn that this philosophy has a significant impact on pipeline design. 

The first part of the training is the mechanical design process with the required calculations, which is covered in Clause 4 of CSA Z662. The second part is material selection, which is covered in Clause 5 of CSA Z662.

Learning Objectives

After taking this course, you will be able to:

• Explain the essential elements of the pipeline design requirements in Clauses 4 and 5 of CSA Z662. 
• Describe how to apply the stress-based design method for pressure design. 
• Describe the influence of other (non-pressure) sources of loading and sustained force on pipeline design. 
• Describe the influence of pipeline surroundings, such as class location designated geographical areas (DGAs), on pipeline design. 
• Describe how to apply the material selection and qualification requirements for the design of steel pipelines. 
• Locate guidance for alternative design methods and additional design criteria for special cases of pipeline products and pipe materials in CSA Z662.
