Details :
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. Specific requirements apply to several classes of material used in pressure vessel construction, and to fabrication methods such as welding, forging and brazing.
Based on the rules for pressure vessel design and construction, this training course is 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 and paragraphs will be covered, and a discussion of individual problems or situations will be included.
Delegates attending this ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1: Design & Fabrication of Pressure Vessels 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
Upon completion of the Pressure
Vessels: ASME VIII-1 course students will have a basic understanding of the
following:
- The
layout and use of ASME VIII-1.
- Pressure
vessel component design for internal and external pressure.
- General
materials, fabrication, and examination/inspection requirements.
- Design
considerations for pressure vessels, nozzle reinforcement calculations,
low temperature operation, and basic types of refinery pressure vessels
(towers, drums, heat exchangers, and header boxes).
This course is intended for engineers working for Owner-Users, manufacturers, or engineering and construction firms in the refining/petrochemical and comparable industries. Engineers serving in a maintenance or reliability role whose responsibilities include the evaluation of process pressure vessels will also benefit.
