Pressure Vessels: ASME VIII-1

Gain a solid, practical understanding of pressure vessel design with this in-depth training course, focused on the requirements of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1 (ASME VIII-1). Learn the Code’s organization and its key content, including its general requirements, component design, materials, fabrication, and testing procedures. Build competency in the design of shell and head components for both internal and external pressure, reinforcement of openings, flange analysis, and protection against brittle fracture, while learning to determine the minimum design metal temperature (MDMT). Delve into the design considerations for various pressure vessels found in processing facilities such as process towers, heat exchangers, and non-circular equipment. Through a blend of presentations and practical example problems, you’ll focus on the ASME VIII-1 design-by-rule requirements and gain valuable insights from instructors with extensive industry experience.
