Desired candidate profile

1. Piping Design &Layout:

• DesigningPiping Systems: Experience in designing and layingout piping systems for a variety of applications (e.g., processpiping, HVAC, water supply, wastewater systems). This includesselecting appropriate materials, specifying dimensions, anddetermining pipe routing.
• 3DModeling & CAD Software: Proficiency withdesign and modeling software such as AutoCAD, AutoCAD Plant 3D, andPDMS (Plant Design Management System) to create detailed pipinglayouts and 3D models.
• IsometricDrawings: Creating isometric drawings for pipingsystems, detailing pipe sizes, material specifications, androuting.

2. Pipe StressAnalysis:

• Stress& Strain Calculations: Ability to conductstress analysis to ensure the piping system can withstandoperational pressures, temperatures, and mechanical stresses.Familiarity with software such as CAESAR II or AutoPIPE forperforming stressanalysis.
• Thermal Expansion& Flexibility: Knowledge of how temperaturechanges and thermal expansion affect pipe design and selection ofsupports, hangers, and insulation.

3.Material Selection &Specification:

• ChoosingMaterials: Expertise in selecting appropriatematerials (e.g., carbon steel, stainless steel, alloys, plastics)based on factors like pressure, temperature, corrosion resistance,and cost.
• Material Standards& Codes: Familiarity with industry standardsand codes (e.g., ASME B31.3, ASME B31.1, API 650, ASTM, ASME, andANSI) to specify the correct materials and ensure compliance withsafety and performance standards.

4.Piping Supports, Hangers &Bracing:

• Knowledge ofthe design and selection of piping supports, hangers, brackets, andbraces to ensure the integrity of the piping system under differentload conditions.
• Ability to calculate anddesign the proper spacing and configuration of supports to preventsagging, vibrations, or mechanicalfailure.

5. PipingStress & FlexibilityAnalysis:

• Assessing theflexibility of piping systems and understanding how they willbehave under pressure, temperature, and externalloads.
• Determining the need for expansionjoints, flexible hoses, and other components to absorb thermalexpansion and movement.

6.Code Compliance &Standards:

• Deepunderstanding of piping design codes and standards, including ASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) codes, ASTM (AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials), and API (American PetroleumInstitute) standards.
• Ensuring that the designand construction of piping systems adhere to local, national, andinternational safety and regulatoryrequirements.

7. FluidFlow Analysis & Pressure DropCalculations:

• Performingcalculations to determine fluid flow rates, pressure drops, andfluid velocities within pipingsystems.
• Understanding how to size pipes toensure efficient flow, minimize pressure losses, and prevent issueslike cavitation or erosion.
