About the author

Written by an engineer,
for engineers.

I still vividly remember graduating in 1990, joining an engineering firm and immediately being thrown into an Oil Refinery Project for a Middle East Oil company — with very limited piping knowledge. There was no book that could help me understand where to start, what pipe support to use, or how to run a stress analysis.

After climbing the ladder to become a Piping and Pipeline Specialist — working with world-class firms across six countries — I now have the experience to write the book I wish I'd had. PipingPro Academy brings that knowledge directly to the young engineers who need it most.

Every module is grounded in real project work, real code requirements, and real software — not textbook theory alone.

"The book I wish I'd had when I was starting out in Oil & Gas."
Why PipingPro Academy

Practical knowledge.
Not just theory.

01
Field-tested content
Every example comes from real projects — refineries, LNG, pipelines, offshore platforms — not generic textbook problems.
02
Software-ready skills
Learn CAESAR II and AUTOPIPE step-by-step. Understand what the software is doing, not just how to click buttons.
03
Code-aligned throughout
Every module references the applicable ASME B31 code, API standard, or industry practice — so your learning is directly applicable.
Interactive learning

Test your knowledge
after every module.

Each PDF module is a structured guide written for practising engineers — clear, practical, and grounded in real Oil & Gas project experience.

Sample question · Chapter 3: Flanges
According to ASME B16.5, what is the primary factor that determines a flange's pressure–temperature rating?
  • APipe wall thickness
  • BMaterial group and temperature
  • CBolt circle diameter
  • DFlange face type (RF, FF, RTJ)
✓ Correct! ASME B16.5 groups materials into seven pressure classes. The allowable pressure depends on both the material group and the operating temperature.
✗ Not quite. ASME B16.5 ratings are based on material group and operating temperature — not pipe wall thickness or bolt dimensions.
