• Semester 6, position 3

Objective of the course is that students acquire academic skills and academic competencies for selection and calculation of pipelines and pipeline fittings. By performing students’ projects, they acquire creative and specific practical skills that qualify them to perform professional work in the field of pipeline design. Through the laboratory experiments and exercises, students gain knowledge of testing and exploiting process equipment.

By successful completion of the study program student acquires the following skills: analysis, synthesis and prediction of solutions and consequences; development of critical thinking and self-critical approach; application of knowledge in practice; professional ethics; correlation of knowledge from different fields and their applications; development of skill and proficiency in the use of knowledge in field of pipelines and pipeline fittings.

1. Classification and marking of pipelines; Input data for design; Description of activities in the design phase; Materials for pipelines; Graphical documentation. 2. Calculation of the thickness of pipe wall, pipe elbow and other fittings, plastic and elastic deformations, distribution of loads from the internal pressure; Flanges; Welding. 3. Safety equipment. Pipelines supports, Distance between supports, Pipeline testing. 4. Self-compensation, axial compensator, pipelines not laid in canals, selection and calculations. 5. Pipelines laid and not laid in canals, Systems of pipelines, pipeline systems not laid in canals. 6. Thermo-isolation and protection against corrosion. 7. Purpose and classification, plug valves (passing, three-way and four-way valves and ball valves) regulation characteristics. 8. Safety valves, safety valve’s calculation and selection. 9. Condensation and Moisture Separators, Filters, air release valve. 10. Valve functions, calculation and selection.

1. Determining pipeline dimension. Safety factors, material characteristics, recommended flow speeds, types of standard measures, controlling measures, dimension and materials. 2. Calculation of the thickness of pipe wall with regards to internal pressure. 3. Flanges, types and classes, 4. Examples of calculating self-compensations with and without pre-stressing. 5. Calculations and dimensioning of axial compensator and calculating forces that act in pipelines not laid in canals. 6. Supports, dimensioning and selection. 7. Calculating thermo isolation, selection of type of isolation – characteristics of isolation materials. 8. Dimensioning, materials and selection, sealing, fittings. 9. Determining the output mass flow and safety valve dimensioning. 10. Examples of dimensioning, installing and selecting pressure regulating valves.
