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 1; the basic design principles covering materials, design stress and factors of safety; the types of pressure vessels; the categories, configurations and their specific considerations; the material specifications, allowable stress values and sourcing of pressure vessel; and the shells under internal pressure, heads and formed sections and opening and reinforcements around nozzles, manways and other penetrations.
Further, the course will also discuss the welding considerations, processes, joint efficiencies and material compatibility; the effects of vacuum and external loads and their design implications; the post-weld heat treatment, stress relieving and other necessary procedures; the examination and inspection techniques covering radiography, ultrasonic testing and other non-destructive tests; the pressure testing procedures, certification and stamping, and the compilation of proper documentation and manufacturer's data reports.
