Materials, Fabrication, Inspection & Testing Requirements for Pressure Vessels
Course Description
Based on the ASME Code Section VIII, pressure vessels are containers for the containment of pressure, either internal or external. This pressure may be obtained from an external source, or by the application of heat from a direct or indirect source, or any combination thereof. Based on the rules for pressure vessel design and construction, you will gain a comprehensive introduction to the requirements of Section VIII, Division 1 including background, organization, design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and documentation of pressure vessels. The more commonly used subsections

paragraphs will be covered, and a discussion of individual problems or situations will be included.
