Description
The Hydraulic Cold Pipe Bending Machine Operator Training provides specialized skills for personnel involved in oil and gas long-distance pipeline construction. This hands-on course focuses on the safe operation, setup, and maintenance of hydraulic cold bending equipment to produce high-quality bends meeting stringent pipeline specifications (ASME B31.4/B31.8, API 1104). Participants gain the expertise required for efficient and compliant pipe bending critical to pipeline integrity.
Skills
API 1104: Welding of Pipelines and Related Facilities (relevant for ensuring bend quality doesn't impede welding)
ASME B31.4: Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries
ASME B31.8: Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems
ISO 13847: Petroleum and natural gas industries -- Pipeline transportation systems -- Welding of pipelines (includes aspects related to fit-up impacted by bending)
