Course content
The course is taught and supervised in Norwegian
The course focuses on the process from design to delivery of a piping system. In this process, a number of decisions must be made that affect the operation and maintenance of the pipe system as well as failure modes and causes of failure in the pipe system. The course focuses on systematic work processes. How the use of standards in the design process increases the safety in the operational phase of the piping system is discussed in detail.
The course is divided into modules:
Module 1: System components, Drawings, Energy considerations related to fluid transport in pipes
Module 2: Pressure/temperature/flexibility design of pipe systems
Module 3: Materials used in pipe systems
Module 4: Fabrication, assembly and erection of pipe systems
Module 5: Inspection, examination and testing of pipe systems
Module 6: Mechanical completion/commissioning /preservation/hand over of pipe systems
Training on pipe stress analysis software Caesar II is part of this course.
Learning outcome
Knowledge
The candidate should upon completing this course:
- Have insight into the process from the pipe system is designed, calculated, manufactured, installed, tested and handed over for operation.
Skills
The candidate is able to:
- Apply knowledge to systematically carry out a pipe project including design, calculation, manufacturing, installation, testing and handover.
- Make comprehensive assessments of the project so that operation and maintenance, finances, service life and environmental impacts are included in the assessments.
- The candidate must be able to find and use relevant standards in the design process.
- The candidate must be able to do simple 3D modeling of a pipe system and use a relevant computer program for voltage evaluation of a simple 3D model.
General competence
- The candidate has insight into environmental, health-related, social and economic consequences of products and solutions within the discipline, and is able to put these into an ethical and a product lifecycle perspective.
- The candidate knows how to impart knowledge, orally and in writing, in English, and contributes to make visible the importance of technology and its consequences.
- The candidate contributes to development and best practice by participating in professional discussions in the field, and by sharing knowledge and experience with colleagues and others.
- The candidate is ready to work as a junior engineer under the supervision of senior engineers
Learning methods and activities
In addition to physical teaching, lectures are streamed and recordings placed on the NTNU's digital learning platform.
Ways of teaching and teaching activities include, but are not limited to:
- Interactive lectures
- Digital exercises
- Supervised exercises
- Laboratory exercises
- Project work / problem based learning in groups (semester assignment)
Mandatory work requirements:
Access to final examination is granted when the candidate has delivered and had approved:
- Digital Quiz: A specified number of digital Quizes (individually)
- CaesarII analysis: A specified number of CaesarII analysis (individually)
- A membership in a semester assignment group (individual registration)
- A collaboration agreement for semester assignment group (group submission)
- An A3 presentation of semester assignment (group submission)
- A video summarizing the results of the semester assignment (group submission)
The mandatory work requirements must be delivered on the digital learning platform used at NTNU.
Compulsory assignments
- Video - term paper result
- Group registration semester assignment
- Agreement of cooperation semester assignment
- A3 Presentation of semester assignment
- Digital quiz
- CaesarII analysis
Further on evaluation
Mandatory work from previous semester can be accepted by the Department by re-take of an examination if there have not been any significant changes later.
The assessment (A-F) in this course is based on:
- a written "school exam" Inspera which counts for 60% of the total grade
- and a group assignment submitted in Inspera which counts for 40% of the total grade.
- Students must pass both the "school exam" and the group assignment.
Allowed exam aids: All printed and handwritten aids. All calculators.
Re-sit examination in August. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
Continuation and voluntary repetition / improvement can be carried out for some sub-evaluations without having to reassess both sub-evaluations in a topic (on the condition that the subject has not changed the assessment system). There is an opportunity to complain about partial assessments in this topic before all sub-evaluations have been completed.
