Gas Distribution Engineering: Piping and Material Design
Virtual Instructor-led Training

Course Overview:

Gas Distribution Engineering has played an essential role in the training of thousands of distribution engineers for 70 years. This comprehensive course focuses on Piping & Materials, and its companion course focuses on Piping & System Planning. You can register for both weeks (at a discounted fee) or you may register for only one of the weeks. (If you are taking this course as part of the Registered Gas Distribution Professional, or RGDP, certificate program, you must complete both weeks, although not necessarily in the same year.)

In Piping and Material Design, you'll get an understanding of the properties and design of piping systems—steel and plastic pipe (and cast iron, where appropriate)—and explore incident investigation, leakage control, repair/replace decisions, corrosion and cathodic protection, route selection criteria, and more.

Gas Distribution Engineering: Piping & Material Design features activities that show you how to use the new information you're learning to solve real-life work problems. You'll also get important information on economics and safety issues. Instruction methods include presentations, along with interactive discussions and group exercises. Assignments will be given during the course and a final exam will be administered on the last day of the course.

Target Audience:

  • Engineers who want to bridge the gap between formal schooling and gas industry technology
  • Those with specialized experience who want to broaden and update their knowledge of gas distribution engineering

CEU | PDH Requirements:

For this course, to receive CEU and PDH credits, users must attend each day of  class, complete the course evaluation, and pass the final exam with a score of 80% or higher.
