Pressure Vessels II Design & Fabrication (Conforms to ASME Codes)
Course Description
This comprehensive course covers the 2007 Edition of the ASME Code, Section VIII: Division 2. With this Edition, this Code was totally re-written and updated to the latest technology. Some of the design and fabrication rules are totally new and state-of-the-art. Having more refined and more accurate rules, the design margins have been reduced. The use of this new Code could result in considerable savings in materials costs and, in most cases the overall vessel costs. There is a great deal of interest in this international Code and ASME would be promoting its use, worldwide.

This course compares the new rules with the old rules of Division 2 and with some other international Codes. The design margins and their effect on required thickness will be explained. The basis and background for the new rules will be discussed. Although the emphasis will be on the design and analysis rules, all aspects of construction will be covered.
