About the course

The EN 13480 design code is frequently used for piping system design for systems in Europe. Often the EN 13480 design rules are applied using automated pipe flexibility software packages such as CAESAR II and the engineer can lose the overview of the calculation being performed.

This learning path aims to explain the fundamental equations and principles in the design rules of the EN 13480-3. For example: How is the allowable design stress calculated? Why should certain load cases be analyzed? What inter-stiffener distance is required to prevent collapse under vacuum? How many cycles are permitted for cyclic loads to avoid fatigue failure? This course covers the design rules of the EN 13480 code and the similarities and differences compared to the American ASME B31.3 code are discussed throughout.

As well as explaining the EN 13480 design rules and how to apply them, you will be challenged on why a rule is formulated in a particular way.

This learning path consists of 7 online, self-study courses, all of which are formed of video lectures, with regular quizzes and exercises to reinforce your learning.
