Pressure Piping Fabrication Requirements
and Quality Control Seminar
Are you involved with the fabricating of pressure piping and need a better
understanding of the importance to have a Quality Management System
If you are, this seminar will be beneficial to you.
Seminar Overview
The objective of the 2 day seminar is to provide information to the fabricators,
engineering companies and users of Pressure Piping Systems about the requirements
of the Safety Codes Act, Regulations, applicable ASME piping codes and to provide
awareness and guidance for the effective implementation of a Quality Management
System, thereby, helping to construct safe piping systems.
A thorough understanding of the requirements of the Regulations and ASME Codes
promotes the construction of piping systems that are safe and reliable, prevents failures
and online time.
Who should attend
Pressure Piping Fabricators: Production Managers, QC Managers, QC Inspectors
In-Service Pressure Equipment Owners: Plant engineering and maintenance
personnel, inspectors, reliability engineers
EPC: Engineering personnel, designers, quality control personnel
Inspection Companies: Reliability engineers, inspectors
What will you learn
At the conclusion of the course, the attendees will have an understanding of the:
pressure piping requirements of the Safety Codes Act, Regulations and CSA B51
Code.
responsibilities of the manufacturers, owners and designers under the Act and the
Codes.
CRN, PP Number, ECRB and ABSA s jurisdictional boundaries.
ASME B31.3 Code requirements for design, materials, fabrication, examination and
testing.
application of ASME B31.1 Code, boundaries and inspection requirements.
pressure piping requirements of ASME B31.5, B31.9, CSA B52, ANSI K61.1, NFPA
58 and 59.
application of ASME Section IX to WPS s and Performance Qualification Cards.
ISO Quality Concepts.

Training Aids
Training Module Exercises RT Room
A Piping Module is utilized to conduct exercises during the course to:
verify heat numbers and identification of materials
verify identification of welds by the welders
verify identification of welded joints for RT
learn application of ASME B31.3 Code s Acceptance Criteria Table 341.3.2 to check
weld quality
visual inspection to verify overall quality of workmanship and conformance to the
engineering design
RT Room is used to review radiographs and verify against the minimum requirements
of the ASME Code section V. A Radiographic Report is verified against the ASME Code
Section V and construction drawings to confirm conformance and adequate coverage
for welders and repairs.

Instructors
Harold Lake, R.E.T.
Safety Codes Officer
Mr. Lake joined ABSA, the Pressure Equipment Safety Authority in October of 1996,
with his First Class Power Engineering Certificate, as a Field Inspector. Prior to working
with ABSA, he had a career in the heavy oil industry for 13 years followed by being in
the power generating industry for 8 years. For the first two years with ABSA, he spent
some time with the Design Survey Department with the majority of time doing field
inspections. He then went into Shop Inspections and has been working as an
Authorized Inspector for the last 12 years. He holds his National Board Commission
with A and B endorsements and his Safety Codes Officer certification. He has been
presenting ABSA s Pressure Piping Fabrication Requirements and Quality Control
Seminar since early 2007 and is currently one of the primary presenters in this seminar.
Robin Antoniuk, P.Eng.
Northern Region Field Supervisor, Safety Codes Officer
Mr. Antoniuk joined ABSA, the Pressure Equipment Safety Authority in 1999 as a Field
Inspector. Working within ABSA, he has accumulated experience by working in the
Design Survey and Field Inspections departments. Mr. Antoniuk holds a National Board
Commission with A and B endorsements and is a Metallurgical Engineer. His
background prior to joining ABSA has been in NDE and Inspection fields. He has
completed all of the requirements for ABSA In-service Inspection Certificate and the
Welding Examiners Certification. Starting in early 2009 he started presenting sessions
of ABSA's Pressure Piping Fabrication Requirements and Quality Control Seminar and
is currently one of the primary presenters in this seminar. Mr. Antoniuk is currently the
Northern Region Field Supervisor for Northern Alberta which spans just north of Red
Deer to the northern border of the province.
