Installation of
Pressure Reducing Stations, is part of a series of online courses
designed with installers of pressure equipment in mind. The course first
discusses regulations, laws, and standards, then moves into specific
requirements for pressure reducing stations. At the beginning of
the course students asked to print a "Checklist of Questions" related to the
installation of pressure equipment which may then be used as a guide when
in the field. Learning
Outcomes
After completing this course, students will be able to:
Explain why boiler regulation was needed,
and how it became standardized. Describe how nationally recognized codes and standards
are
used to create local jurisdictional laws and regulations.
Identify codes that are particularly relevant
to installers of pressure-retaining items. Identify organizations that have
been key to the development of codes and standards. Describe the functionality
and basic design of a pressure reducing station. Identify the ASME (B31.1) and NBIC Part 1 rules governing
the design and installation of
pressure reducing stations and associated pressure relief piping.
Explain when to use and how to determine the size of
the required pressure relief devices (PRDs). Recall the contents of B31.1 Nonmandatory Appendix II,
Rules for the Design of Safety Valve Installations
.
