Programme description

  • Introduction

    The students will learn how a process plant is designed, and how the pipe system in a process plant is designed in order to meet the requirements of the flowing medium, processing equipment and other external conditions. The students will learn how to apply a 3D modelling tool, as well as the calculation tool Caesar II for stress and flexibility analysis of a pipe system.

    The course builds on MAPE1300 Statics and Solid Mechanics, MATS2300 Construction and Finite Element Analysis, MAFE1000 Mathematics 1000, and MAPE2000 Mathematics 2000.

  • Recommended preliminary courses

    The course builds on MAPE1300, MATS2300, MAFE1000 and MAPE2000.

  • Required preliminary courses

    None.

  • Learning outcomes

    After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

    Knowledge

    The student has an understanding of the complexity of designing a process plant, and can construct a pipe system in such a process plant.

    The students have insight into and can apply and develop the following:

    • Documents used in piping projects
    • Piping sizes and piping codes
    • Piping components and equipment
    • Loads in a piping system
    • Stress and flexibility analysis
    • Design Code B31.3
    • Support design
    • Load on pipe ends
    • Flange leak, Kellogg’s theorem

    Skills

    The student is capable of

    • using a 3D modelling tool to design an oil and gas production facility
    • applying the calculation tool Caesar II to conduct a stress and flexibility analysis of a piping system

    General competence

    The student

    • is capable of completing a mechanical design and carrying out a stress and flexibility analysis of an oil and gas production facility
    • is familiar with the work methods used to carry out a large-scale engineering project
    • is capable of cooperating and communicating with others in a project group, and of documenting the group’s work

  • Teaching and learning methods

    Lectures and project assignments.

  • Course requirements

    The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can take the exam:

    • Three project assignments

  • Assessment

    An individual three-hour written exam

    The exam grade can be appealed.

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication.

  • Grading scale

    Grade scale A–F.

  • Examiners

    One examiner. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.
