Thermoplastic Piping Systems

Thermoplastic piping systems have been used in piping and equipment construction for decades, but the growing demand for corrosion-resistant and sustainable solutions is further increasing the use of thermoplastics. Dosign Academy’s Thermoplastic Piping Systems training course explores the technical possibilities, material properties and design requirements of thermoplastic piping in greater depth, enabling you to assess complex situations more effectively and advise on suitable solutions at the right technical level.

Course programme

During the training course, we examine topics including:

  • Design criteria for thermoplastic and composite piping systems

  • Chemical resistance, temperature limits and load capacity

  • GRP, GRE and thermoplastic piping

  • Diameter selection, pressure ratings and expansion behaviour

  • Pipe support and structural design considerations

  • Joining techniques for GRP, GRE and thermoplastics

  • Quality control, inspection methods and applicable standards

After completing the training course, you will be able to substantiate material choices, assess installations and formulate technical solutions for situations in which thermoplastic and composite piping systems are used.

Signal Processing & Fourier Analysis: From raw measurement data to reliable technical decisions

Technical Modules 11 half-day session Rotterdam

In modern technical systems, measurement data is everywhere. Sensors continuously measure vibration, pressure, temperature, flow and electrical signals. In practice, this data is rarely clean. Noise, disturbances and unstable behaviour make it difficult to determine what a system is actually doing. Signal processing is the discipline that enables engineers to solve this problem.

Pipestress pathway

Technical Programmes

From expansion to pressure loads: learn to understand piping systems the way stress engineers do. Piping systems move, expand and deform, and every movement has consequences for stress, support design and safety.

Pipe Diameter Calculations & Pump Selection

Technical Modules 2 half-day sessions Rotterdam

In the process industry, accurately sizing piping systems and selecting suitable pumps is essential for the efficient and safe operation of installations. With Dosign Academy’s Pipe Diameter Calculations & Pump Selection training course, you develop insight into fluid mechanics, pipe sizing and pump selection. This training course helps you understand, apply and assess calculations within design, engineering and maintenance issues.

The benefits

Why choose Dosign Academy for Thermoplastic and Composite Piping Systems?

At Dosign Academy, we combine in-depth technical knowledge with practical assignments and demonstrations using real materials. The content of the training course is directly aligned with day-to-day work in piping, engineering and maintenance. This means you learn not only what is possible with thermoplastic and composite materials, but above all how to make the right technical choices in practice.

Personal advice and guidance

Every participant brings their own experience and technical questions. We therefore align the advanced training course with your field of work, so that the examples, exercises and cases reflect your day-to-day practice.

Experienced trainers from industry

The training course is delivered by specialists with years of experience in the design, installation, quality control and failure investigation of thermoplastic and composite piping systems. They show you where things commonly go wrong in practice and how these issues can be prevented.

Practice-based training

The training course combines theory with realistic cases. You work with real materials and learn how to apply joining techniques, design criteria, inspection methods and support structures correctly.

The importance of thermoplastic and composite piping systems

Thermoplastic and composite piping systems offer many advantages, but only when they are designed, installed and maintained correctly. An incorrect material choice, inadequate support or an error in joining technique can lead to damage, leakage or production downtime.

This training course helps you make well-founded decisions based on chemical resistance, temperature loads, pressure ratings and applicable standards, ensuring that installations continue to operate safely and cost-effectively.
