Each session will be conducted in a lecture/discussion format designed to provide intensive instruction and guidance on understanding Code requirements, and also on developing an awareness of other considerations in the design, analysis, fabrication and installation of piping which is not covered by the Codes. There will also be a demonstration of computer software that can be used to assist in piping analysis. The faculty will be available following each day’s session to provide participants with further opportunity for discussion and consideration of specific problems.
