ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1 Design & Fabrication of Pressure Vessels - Virtual Learning
Course Methodology
ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1: Design & Fabrication of Pressure Vessels training course will combine presentations with Instructor-guided interactive discussions between participants relating to their individual interests. Practical exercises, video material and case studies aiming at stimulating these discussions and providing maximum benefit to the participants will support the formal presentation sessions. Above all, the instructor will make extensive use of case examples of issues in which he has been personally involved.
Course Objectives
Participants of ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1: Design & Fabrication of Pressure Vessels training course will:
- Understand all the requirements of pressure vessel component design based on ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1, 2022 edition
- Focus on performing calculations autonomously to determine the minimum wall thicknesses of all the main components of pressure vessels based on pressure and design temperature.
Target Audience
This ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1: Design & Fabrication of Pressure Vessels training course is primarily intended for beginners involved with the purchase, design, fabrication or inspection of pressure vessels. Experienced vessel designers, who would like to update their knowledge of the Code, will also benefit.
Though some technical background will be helpful, attendees are not required to have an Engineering degree or previous work experience in the subject.
