Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. Pressure vessels are widely used throughout industry and contain very large concentration of energy. Despite the fact that pressure vessels design and installation comply with the recognized industrial standards, there continue to be serious pressure equipment failures. There are many reasons for pressure equipment failure: degradation and thinning of materials with usage, aging, hidden flaws during fabrication, etc. Fortunately periodic testing and internal and external inspections significantly improve the safety of a pressure vessel or facility. A good testing and inspection program is based on development of procedures for specific industries or types of vessels. This course is designed to provide an introductory yet comprehensive treatment of the significant requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection and testing of pressure vessels as well as post construction maintenance and repair. For new construction, the participants will learn how to apply the rules of the ASME Code Section VIII, Division 1. For post construction, the participants will become familiar with the rules of the National Board Inspection Code, API 510, API 579 and several other documents related to pressure vessel inspection, flaw evaluation and repair. Example problems will be used throughout to demonstrate both, the application of the rules for new pressure vessel design and post construction vessel inspection, flaw evaluation and repair.
