Process Piping Design & ASME B31.3 Simplified - Piping 101

This playlist covers Piping Design 101 (P101) — a structured, step-by-step introduction to pressure-based piping design using real-world engineering practices. The focus is on building a strong foundation in how piping systems are actually designed in industry, based on widely used codes such as ASME B31.3. You will learn not just the equations, but the logic behind the code — so you can confidently apply these concepts in real engineering situations. Topics covered: 1. Introduction to piping systems and failure mechanisms 2. Design conditions (pressure & temperature) 3. Pipe thickness calculation (ASME B31.3) 4. Allowable stress, quality factor (E), and weld factor (W) 5. Pipe sizing and schedule selection 6. Flange ratings and pressure-temperature relationships 7. Piping components and branch reinforcement What makes this different: This is not just theory. The lessons are focused on practical engineering, real-world application, and decision-making — the kind of knowledge used in actual plant design and equipment reliability work. Who this is for: - Engineering students - Fresh graduates - Mechanical and piping engineers - Anyone looking to strengthen fundamentals in piping design Start from Lesson 1.1 and follow the sequence for the best learning experience.
