ME0138 : Application of Standards in Boiler, Pressure Vessel & Piping Systems

This course is intended to introduce codes for construction such as ASME boiler and pressure vessel code and ASME piping codes. It will show the similarities and differences between codes and how standards such as B16, MSS, ASTM, and ISO fit into the various codes.
The course will also demonstrate how the different methods of pressure rating of components are used. The course participants will work examples using the four major methods. These methods are pressure rating by table, schedule, proof testing, and computation. The course will give examples of how to work both with components fully complying and with deviations to fit specific cases.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the differences between different standards rating organizations; the history behind various product standards; the appropriate needed product standard; the pressure temperature rating tables; the class rating systems and the method of proof testing; and the proof test documentation and comparison method of pressure rating.
