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. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of boiler and pressure vessel materials in accordance with ASME section II. It covers the ferrous and non-ferrous material specifications; the rolled structural steels, carbon, alloy, ferritic malleable iron castings, electric resistance-welded steel pipe, alloy steel and stainless steel; the nickel, molybdenum, carbonmolybdenum alloy steel, martensitic stainless, manganesevanadium-nickel, chromium-vanadium alloy steel, welded austenitic steel and gray iron castings; and the manganese-molybdenum-nickel, ferritic ductile iron pressure-retaining castings, forged or rolled 8 and 9% nickel alloy steel, high-temperature service and annealed or cold-worked austhenitic stainless steel.Further, the course will also discuss the age-hardening stainless-steel forgings including the test methods, practices and terminology for chemical analysis of steel products; the carbon steel and low-alloy steel pressure-vessel-component forgings with mandatory toughness requirements; the common requirements of castings, steel and alloy for general industrial use; and the titanium-stabilized carbon steel forgings, ferritic ductile iron castings suitable for low-temperature service, structural quality steels and hot rolled products for structural steels. During this interactive course, participants will learn the flat products made of steels and steel forgings for pressure purposes; the aluminum-alloy sand castings, composition bronze or ounce metal castings, copper-silicon alloy, aluminum-alloy permanent mold castings, nickel-copper alloy, aluminum-bronze sand castings, copper-nickel-zinc alloy, etc.; the specifications for welding rods, electrodes and filler metals; the stress tables, physical properties tables and charts and tables for determining shell thickness of components under external pressure; the basis for establishing design stress intensity values, pressure charts and stress values; the guidelines on multiple marking of materials and standard units for use in equations; nominal composition designations for ASME code materials and the guidance for the use of U.S. customary and SI units in the ASME boiler and pressure vessel code; the guidelines for rounding minimum specified tensile and yield strength values, establish anchor points for tensile and yield strength trend curves.
