Course Description
ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1 deals with requirements applicable to the design, fabrication, inspection and testing of pressure vessels operating internally or externally. This pressure may be obtained from an external source, or by the application of the heat from a direct or indirect source, or any combination thereof.
Based on the rules for pressure vessel design and construction, this training course is a comprehensive introduction to the requirements of new vessel construction according to Section VIII, Division 1 including background, organisation, design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and documentation of pressure vessels. The more commonly used subsections and paragraphs will be covered, and a discussion of individual problems or situations will be included.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
This training course is primarily intended for beginners involved with the purchase, design, fabrication, or inspection of pressure vessels.
Experienced vessel designers, who would like to update their knowledge of the Code, will also benefit.
Training Objective
Delegates attending this training course will develop the following competencies:
- Understand the background of the Code rules
- Apply the Code rules to more common design and fabrication situations
- Perform calculations for loadings and situations not addressed by the Code
- Prepare design specifications, design/data reports, and other documentation
Target Audience
