Pipestress pathway

Become a Pipestress specialist

From expansion to pressure loads: learn to understand piping systems the way stress engineers do.

Piping systems move, expand and deform. Dosign Academy’s Pipestress training courses teach you how to calculate what this means for stress, support design and safety, exactly as stress engineers do in practice.

The pathway consists of three consecutive training courses, building from fundamental to more complex topics. You start with the principles of expansion, flexibility and support design, then deepen your knowledge of calculations according to international codes and standards, and finally move on to pressure retaining components. Parts 2 and 3 can only be followed after completing the previous level. Participants who follow the full pathway benefit from a discounted total fee.

All lessons are delivered by experienced stress engineers. The examples, cases and software applications come directly from the practice of piping design and engineering.

Pipestress Modules 1 to 3

Mohammad Arab | 22-09-2026

Pipestress 1: Expansion, flexibility and support design

Technical Modules 3 half-day session Rotterdam

Pipe stress is a specialised discipline, but a sound basic understanding already makes a real difference in practice. With Pipe Stress 1: Thermal Expansion, Flexibility and Supports, you build a solid foundation for understanding the behaviour of piping systems. This training course covers the basic principles of pipe stress and helps you account for stresses, displacements and supports at an early design stage. This helps prevent issues later in the project and enables you to work more effectively with specialists.

Pipestress 2: Calculation of Piping Systems According to Various Standards

Technical Modules 6 half-day session Rotterdam

After gaining a solid understanding of expansion, flexibility, and support design, the next step is the actual calculation and evaluation of piping systems. Pipestress 2 – Calculation of Piping Systems According to Standards focuses on analysing piping systems based on applicable codes and calculation methodologies. In this training, you will gain deeper insight into how stresses and loads are calculated and how to interpret these results within engineering projects.

Pipestress 3: Calculations of Pressure Retaining Components

Technical Modules 7 half-day session Rotterdam

When piping systems are exposed to internal pressure, specific stresses and forces arise in components such as bends, flanges and branch connections. Pipe Stress 3: Calculations for Pressure-Retaining Components focuses on analysing and assessing these situations. In this training course, you will gain a deeper understanding of how pressure loads affect individual components and how to account for these effects in technical assessments within piping and engineering projects.
