Description
Confidently specify, design, and procure the correct steel pipe for any project, every single time.
“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”
For any piping professional, the ASME B36.10M and B36.19M standards are the bedrock of design and engineering. Yet, the subtle but critical differences between them are a common source of confusion, leading to costly errors in material selection, weight calculation, and project budgeting. This comprehensive course eliminates that confusion by teaching both standards together, providing a complete and integrated understanding of all welded and seamless wrought steel pipe.
This is the definitive guide you need, whether you are working with standard carbon steel or corrosion-resistant stainless steel. We transform the dense, technical language of the standards into a series of clear, practical video lectures with real-world examples.
In this comprehensive course, you will master:
The Full Spectrum of Pipe Dimensions: Learn to navigate the dimensional tables for both carbon steel (ASME B36.10M) and stainless steel (ASME B36.19M).
The Language of Pipe Sizing: Clearly define and differentiate Nominal Pipe Size (NPS), DN, all Schedule Numbers, and the traditional designations (STD, XS, XXS).
The Critical "S" Schedules: Demystify the "S" suffix (5S, 10S, 40S) and understand why these thinner-walled options exist specifically for stainless steel, and how they differ from their standard counterparts.
The Professional Workflow: Learn the correct engineering process for selecting a suitable pipe wall thickness by connecting pressure design calculations with the available options in both standards.
Key Differences & Common Pitfalls: Understand the crucial distinctions in weight calculation based on material density and the different limitations for threading thin-walled pipes.
By the end of this course, you will have a holistic understanding of steel pipe dimensions. You will know exactly which standard to use, when to use it, and how to apply it correctly to ensure your designs are safe, compliant, and cost-effective.
