What you'll learn

Pipe Materials & Properties covers everything you need to select and specify the right pipe for any project — from the fundamental material groups to real specification requirements used on live projects.

01
Ferrous pipe materials
Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel — grades, applications, and project selection criteria
02
Non-ferrous materials
Copper, brass, aluminium, titanium — when non-ferrous is the right choice and why
03
CRA — Corrosion Resistant Alloys
Duplex, super duplex, Inconel, Hastelloy — selection for aggressive service conditions
04
Non-metallic pipe
HDPE, FRP, TCP — growing use in offshore and subsea applications
05
Mechanical & physical properties
Yield strength, tensile strength, hardness, SMYS — how properties affect design calculations
06
PWHT — Post Weld Heat Treatment
When PWHT is required, code requirements, and how to specify it correctly on your drawings

quiz looks like.

Here is a sample question from the Introduction to Piping course.

Introduction to Piping
Which material designation indicates a pipe is manufactured from carbon steel conforming to API 5L Grade B?
  • AASTM A312 TP316L
  • BASTM A106 Gr. B
  • CAPI 5L Gr. B PSL 1
  • DASTM A333 Gr. 6
✓ Correct! API 5L Grade B PSL 1 is a carbon steel line pipe standard widely used in oil & gas pipelines. PSL 1 denotes the standard product specification level.
✗ Not quite. ASTM A312 TP316L is stainless steel, A106 Gr. B is a seamless process pipe, and A333 Gr. 6 is a low-temperature carbon steel. API 5L Gr. B PSL 1 is the correct carbon steel line pipe designation.
