The course is based on PASS/START-PROF software, though it will be valuable for users of any other tools like CAESAR II as it contains a lot of theoretical info

This course created by experienced piping stress analysis specialists covers all features of onshore above ground and underground piping and pipeline analysis. The course is based on PASS/START-PROF software applying, though it will be valuable for users of any other pipe stress analysis tools like CAESARII as it contains a lot of theoretical information.

Who should attend: process, piping and mechanical engineers specialized in design and piping stress analysis for the specified industries:

Oil & Gas (Offshore/Onshore)
Chemical & Petrochemical
Power (Nuclear/ Non-Nuclear)
District Heating/Cooling
Water treatment
Metal industry

Training software: all trainees are provided with a free 30-days PASS/START-PROF license.

Certificate: After finishing the course you will receive the certificate from udemy and also certificate from PASS.

PASS/START-PROF provides comprehensive pipe stress analysis with related sizing calculations according to international and national codes and standards. First introduced in 1965, PASS/START-PROF combines a highly efficient solver, powerful analysis features, very friendly and easy user GUI, an intuitive 3D graphical pre/post-processor, and a detailed help system with embedded intelligence from generations of piping design experts.

Course consists of pre-recorded video lectures, quizzes, examples and handout materials.
