In an attempt to make the Module V Online Piping Design Training Course more accessible to those who do not have corporate support for such training we have reduced the cost substantially. Being aware that the cost for training puts many courses, most in excess of $2,000.00 US plus travel costs, out of reach for the designer/engineer not affiliated with a corporation, we have made it possible to reduce the cost of this training course. Click below for more information on the course and its new price

Download the 5 page brochure on the Module V Piping Design course by clicking on the pdf icon to the right. This 7 hour comprehensive course on industrial piping design helps to lay a foundation of knowledge that addresses the fundamental understanding of the piping code, how to prepare for a project, the documents you will need and the essential data that needs to be developed before construction begins. It will discuss materials of construction and how to specify those materials. This course is packed with the information you will need to know to perform your piping design and engineering job accurately and efficiently.

Description

The only comprehensive and authoritative reference guide to the ASME Bioprocessing Piping and Equipment (BPE) standard

This is a 544 page companion guide to the ASME Bioprocessing Piping and Equipment (BPE) Standard and explains what lies behind many of the requirements and recommendations within that industry standard. Following an introductory narrative to the Standard's early history, industry related codes and standards are explained; the design and engineering aspects cover construction materials, both metallic and nonmetallic; then components, fabrication, assembly and installation of piping systems are explored. Examination, Inspection and Testing then precede the ASME BPE certification process, concluding with a discussion on system design.

The author draws on many years' experience and insights from first-hand involvement in the field of industrial piping design, engineering, construction, and management, which includes the bioprocessing industry. The reader will learn why dimensions and tolerances, process instrumentation, and material selection play such an integral part in the manufacture of components and instrumentation.

This easy to understand and navigate guide will assist engineers (design, piping, chemical, etc.) who need to understand the basis for much of the Standard’s content, as do the contractors and inspectors who have to meet and validate compliance with the BPE Standard.

Cover of Article

This historical narrative on the founding and development of the ASME Bioprocessing Equipment (BPE) Standard, in addition to the author's own experience with the industry during this same period of time, includes a compilation of interviews and discussions with many of the individuals directly responsible for the existence of the BPE Standard. Those individuals served as first-hand account resources and were instrumental in helping weave a substantive account of its creation and development. 

What I find remarkable is the fact that in its 32nd year many of the founding members are still deeply involved in the ongoing evolution of this industry standard. That same energy that stoked the fires and drove the creation of the BPE Standard is still very mach alive in these same individuals. Read their story and learn how such industry standards are created and sustained.
