COURSE OVERVIEW

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 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section 8.D.1. It covers the development and significance of ASME BPVC code; the ASME BPVC Section VIII Divisions 1, 2, and 3; the scope and applicability of Division and types of pressure vessels; the comparison of Division 2 and 3 and their differences in design rules, materials and inspection requirements; the basic design principles and the design of shells under internal pressure and heads and formed sections; the opening and reinforcements, flange and gasket design, external pressure design and considerations; and the materials for pressure vessels.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the materials, design, welded joints, PWHT and welded connections of pressure vessels fabricated by welding; the examination and inspection techniques for radiography, ultrasonic testing and other non-destructive tests; the pressure testing procedures covering hydrostatic and pneumatic tests, safety protocols and execution; the pressure vessels fabricated by forging and brazing; the pressure vessels constructed of carbon and low alloy steels, non-ferrous materials and high alloy steel; the pressure vessels constructed of ferritic steel enhanced by heat treatment and of materials with higher allowable stresses at low temperature; the quality control system, recent updates and amendments; the pressure vessel repairs and alterations; and the integration with other ASME sections.
