- Apply best practices for safe oxygen pipeline routing, including clearance and burial requirements.
- Implement critical cleaning, degreasing, and welding procedures specific to oxygen service.
- Execute the correct pressure testing, commissioning, and startup protocols for oxygen systems.
- Interpret and apply the key requirements of the IPSS 1:6 standard on real-world projects.
- Develop a comprehensive safety mindset for the entire lifecycle of an oxygen pipeline.
- Manage the formal documenIdentify and mitigate the primary hazards associated with high-pressure oxygen trtation and handover process for operational readiness.

Requirements
- A basic understanding of industrial piping components (pipes, fittings, valves) and general engineering principles is recommended.
- No prior expertise in oxygen systems is required. This course is designed to build your knowledge from fundamental concepts to advanced application.

Description
Are you confident that the oxygen pipelines in your plant are truly safe?

“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”

Oxygen is one of the most hazardous utilities in any industrial facility. Unlike inert gases, it is a powerful oxidizer that can cause violent combustion with common contaminants like oil, grease, or even dust. A single error in material selection, a flaw in a weld, or an improper cleaning procedure can lead to catastrophic failure. Standard piping practices are simply not enough.

This comprehensive course provides a deep dive into theCode of Practice for Oxygen Gas Pipelines (based on IPSS 1:6), transforming complex technical standards into practical, real-world knowledge. We will guide you through the entire project lifecycle, ensuring you have the expertise to design, construct, and commission oxygen systems with the highest level of safety and confidence.

Led by expert instructors, this course goes beyond theory. We use a conversational, two-host format to explain not just the "what" but the critical "why" behind every rule.

Throughout this course, you will master:

Critical Material Selection:Learn to choose oxygen-compatible metals, alloys, and non-metallic components like gaskets and seals to prevent ignition at the source.

Safe Pipeline Routing & Layout:Understand the mandatory clearance distances from buildings, roads, and electrical lines, and learn the specific requirements for both aboveground and buried pipelines.

The Mandate for Cleanliness:Dive into the multi-step procedures for cleaning, pickling, and degreasing components to achieve "oxygen clean" status, and learn how to verify it.

Specialized Construction & Welding:Master the specific welding procedures (TIG), quality control inspections (NDT), and erection practices that are mandatory for oxygen service.

Testing, Commissioning & Startup:Follow a step-by-step guide to pneumatic pressure testing, leak testing, nitrogen purging, and the safe, controlled introduction of oxygen into a new system.

By the end of this course, you will not just be familiar with the standards—you will be an authority on them. You will have the skills to lead projects, ensure compliance, and make critical decisions that protect personnel, assets, and the environment.
