ME0275 : Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers Design in accordance with ASME VIII and TEMA (Level 2)

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers Design in accordance with ASME VIII and TEMA. It covers the pressure vessel types and applications including the structure and scope of ASME Section VIII; the design conditions and allowables, shell thickness calculations and head design; the mechanical design reporting, nozzle types and arrangement and nozzle reinforcement calculations; the external loads on nozzles and flange selection and analysis; the support skirts, legs, saddles and lugs, openings and attachments; and the heat exchanger overview and classifications. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the thermal design fundamentals, shell and tube mechanical design, TEMA construction types, pressure drop and flow arrangement; the TEMA inspection, maintenance and failure modes, pressure vessel fabrication process and welding methods for vessels; the welding qualifications and post weld heat treatment (PWHT), non-destructive examination (NDE/NDT) and hydrostatic and pneumatic testing; the ASME compliance and documentation and design optimization techniques; and the integration with piping systems, internal components and process performance.
