The author used some terms that had to be understood by reading them in context, but that may have been only due to this not being my primary area of work. Overall a good summary of what to remember to cover in the design phase.

Good course for piping basics
Good course but here are some comments for improvement: (1) A little too heavy in the coverage of stress related considerations. (2) Author used the term "fluid" throughout when he meant "liquid). Liquids and gases are both fluids; however this course consistently would say statements like, "Fluids and gases...". (3) Page 17, #6 (referring to hydrogen embrittlement) stated that hydrogen in the fluid collected in the grain boundaries of the metal. Actually I believe it's when hydrogen atoms in the metal grain structure itself moves to the grain boundaries (under high temperature conditions) creating hydrogen-rich embrittlement in the grain boundaries and hydrogen depletion in the grain body areas.

I found the course document very informative. As a structural engineer, I have been involved in the design and analysis of pipe support structures in California and North Dakota. The design of these structures has been governed by the various building codes. I have received design criteria from piping engineers, but this has helped me understand some things from their perspective.

Good Course for those new to piping engineering and a good refresher for those who have not performed piping engineering recently. The course syllabus may have an error in section 2.1 Design Codes. The description of Code B31.2 Fuel Gas Piping refers to above ground GASOLINE pipe, and I think that B31.2 code only refers to gaseous fuels.
Author Response:
Upon review, B31.2 has been withdrawn by ASME and there is no replacement document. If Fuel Gas Piping is being engineered, the governing ASME code would be based upon its installation location,
B31.3 if in a Petrochemical Facility or Refinery
B31.1 if in a Power Plant
B31.8 if a Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping System

SunCam Intro to Piping Course - Superb
I have been doing electrical design for 40-years. I have picked up pieces and parts of piping design from skilled designers and construction meetings. This course was outstanding in confirming the things I thought I knew and adding so many things that I did not know. The real-world tie-ins increased the value 10x.
