Piping Material Management is the branch of logistics that deals with the procurement and supply of the piping system as individual pieces or as an assembly in the form of spool pieces. The goal of good material management is:

It involves the quality control of purchasing and ordering, and the standards involved in ordering, shipping, and warehousing the said material.

This 6 hour course explains the roles and responsibilities of the pipe material engineering and purchasing department to ensure that enough material is always available on schedule, so that the construction continues smoothly.

This course is Part 5 of a 9-part series that covers the entire gamut of piping engineering in an easy-to-learn format. Each course in the series is stand-alone. Feel free to jump back and forth through the courses depending on your own knowledge and experience and your current needs. However, it is suggested that you complete the series in sequential order if you have limited knowledge of piping systems.

This course is intended for mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, piping engineers, control systems engineers, as well as civil, structural and electrical engineers who have a need or a desire to know more about piping components and systems. No prerequisite knowledge of the subject is required.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Compare the three pipe-installation approaches: field fabrication, shop fabrication, and skid assembly.
• Distinguish between process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).
• Identify the multiple specifications required for large piping projects.
• Explain the importance of piping material specifications (PMS) and pipe class sheets in design work.
• Describe design criteria and good engineering practices for piping-layout engineering.
• Distinguish among the material take-off (MTO), bill of material (BOM), and bill of quantities (BOQ).
• Explain why and when preliminary, intermediate, and final MTOs are performed.
• Describe how a material requisition is prepared using the course example.
• Explain the procedure for bid tabulation and purchase-order placement.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
